The Order of Skull and Bones, once known as The Brotherhood of Death, is a senior or secret society based at Yale University, in New Haven, Connecticut. Members meet in the "tomb" on Thursday and Sunday evenings of each week over the course of their senior year. As with other Yale societies, the sharing of a personal history is the keystone of the senior year together in the tomb. Reputedly, members are assigned a nickname. More importantly, it is said each new member continues a "line" named after a figure in Roman mythology. (At Scroll and Key the names are associated with Greek mythology, and with Egyptian mythology at Wolf's Head.) *please do your own research on the subject*
