340 - The Skull and Bones aka The Brotherhood of Death
Timesuck with Dan Cummins
The Order of Skull & Bones
Yale alumnus Walter Camp helped create the sport of American football. There are eight total so-called landed societies associated with Yale. Scroll & Key, founded in 1842, is reputedly the wealthiest of Yale Secret Societies.
Skull and Bones has been shrouded in mystery ever since it was founded nearly two centuries ago now, back in 1832. All members take an oath promising NEVER to reveal the group’s activities and secrets. And that oath is taken seriously. According to the traditional narrative, Skull and Bones was founded by a group of Yale juniors who were either angry over that year’s honor society elections or inspired by occult European secret societies, or perhaps both. Is this group a nefarious organization connected to some sort of Illuminati plan to take over the world? Or, is it akin to a college fraternity? Nothing more than a place to network with rich and connected families who can greatly help your career aspirations once you graduate from Yale? Or an organization to be feared?
