Skull and Bones
The Brotherhood of Death, also known as the Skull and Bones fraternity of Yale University is exactly what every other academic society strives to be. It is highly secret, elite and members will do anything for one another.
The influence Skull and Bones has on the United States government is so massive it is likely only members, or "Bonesmen", truly even have a feasible idea. As most secret societies, the club has spread much misinformation about them to further distort the lines between fact and fiction.
Only a handful of new members are picked each year: the cream of the crop in sports, academics and other extra activities. They are also suspected of tapping the most influential person of racial/social groups and brainwash them with the Bones agenda, hoping to turn "their kind" onto the dark side.
This is of course the basis of The Skulls four-part Hollywood movie series, the first one being released just in time of the 2000 Presidential race with Bonesmen George W Bush in the republican seat against enviro-whore Al Gore. Clearly the idea here is when Skull and Bones is brought up, people can refer it to that pathetic movie series and claim to know all about it.
Since the inception of the club 1832, there have been hundreds of graduates who move on to become heads of industry and bigwig politicians. Traditionally most graduates are at some point in their lives working for the CIA, which was founded by many Bonesmen and the tradition continues to this day.
They pressure their sons to become members, as proven by third-generation Bonesmen former President George W Bush. During his second Presidential in 2004 he was running against Senator John Kerry, who was not only a fellow Bonesmen but also inducted the same year as the President.
