In the shadowy corners of American tradition, few institutions have woven such a tapestry of intrigue as the Order of Skull & Bones, a secret society rooted in the hallowed halls of Yale University. A select group of initiates, known as ‘Bonesmen,‘ purportedly hold the reins of influence over some of the nation’s most esteemed corridors of power. Today, we delve into the murky world of these Yale elites, unmasking the mysteries and revealing the dramatic rituals that underpin this infamous society.

From the onset, it’s clear that Skull & Bones isn’t your average fraternity; its mysterious origins and rituals bear the markings of an entirely different breed of institution. Initiates must navigate through a rigorous selection process aptly named ‘tapping.’ Conducted by the current membership of 15 senior Yale students, this process selects 15 junior members to become the next generation of Bonesmen.

The society’s darkened history is stained with discrimination, but recently, we’ve seen a more diverse demographic adorning the cloak of the Bonesman. However, the question lingers: Are these simply tokens offered up as decoys to divert prying eyes from the society’s insidious truth?

To understand the Bonesmen’s path to initiation, one must appreciate the ‘Three Ordeals,’ a grueling trial set out to test their aptitude for survival in the world beyond the confines of Yale. The first ordeal thrusts the candidates into the social crucible of the New England preparatory schools.

With their blueblood pedigrees in tow, these future Bonesmen navigate the privileged world of elite private high schools, where their mettle is tested in an environment synonymous with the Anglican-Episcopal Church.

Next is the ordeal of nature, a challenge that pits these future power brokers against the raw, untamed wilderness. Skills in hunting, survival, and exploration are paramount to proving their worth. It’s a test of grit and character, an ordeal designed to separate the wheat from the chaff.

The final ordeal, perhaps the most telling of all, is war. In a society that perceives itself as the ruling WASP warrior caste, the trial of combat in wartime holds high significance. Many Bonesmen, including former President George Bush, swapped the comfort of the prep school for the chaos of the military service, a clear testament to their unwavering dedication to the Bones ethos.

After the selection, a dramatic initiation ceremony unfolds, where the prospective Bonesmen are ‘tapped’ for Skull & Bones.

The new recruits receive a message wrapped in black ribbon sealed by black wax bearing the infamous skull and crossbones emblem. This macabre invitation, embedded with the enigmatic Bones number 322, instructs the initiates to present themselves for the initiation rites devoid of any metal objects or clothing.

Can you imagine the nerve-jangling anticipation as these neophytes prepare for their dark induction?
