Skull & Bones Society

By Crusader1307

A ''Secret Society'' formed in 1832 in The American Yale University of New Haven, Connecticut – ''Skull and Bones'' has become more Urban Legend that known fact. The organization which was originally formed by wealthy Sons of Business and Politics, The Society served as a means to establish lifelong relationships between such future ''Captains of Industry''. Because of the extreme secretive nature of membership and proposed rituals, many myths were born out of The Society. Identified by the symbolism of a Human Skull (sans lower jaw) and ''Crossed Bones'' (in an obvious ''nod'' to The ''Jolly Roger'' of Piracy), Members are known collectively as ''Bonesmen''. The initial Meeting Hall was a small Brownstone structure, originally devoid of windows, and called ''The Tomb''. Several US Presidents, Politicians and even Armed Forces Generals have throughout The Society's History, been Members. They are pledged to supported each other for life. As such, ''Skull and Bones'' is also linked to several ''New World Order'' Conspiracy Theories as well.
