But while these earlier societies might be clouded in mystery and intrigue, there are modern equivalents of which we know much, much more. One of these mysterious societies is known simply as Skull and Bones. A clandestine group who gather at one of the world’s top universities, they are made up of some of the cleverest, brightest, and most privileged members of their generation. In addition to this, their members have gone on to be CEOs, moguls, and even Presidents.
