yeah... i admit this is just pure speculation on my part:
i'm willing to bet that all of the intrigue and sacred rituals done by these secret societies is done just to make themselves appear mysterious to outsiders. ok... so they probably have some pretty bizarre initiation rites... so do the masons and the shriners.
it is an elitist society that is part of what is often an elitist institution (yale). of course they would have a lot of members in high-up positions. i bet the all-star roster of a lot of other clubs at yale, their student government, and their school newspaper have names of similar prestige on them.
you know what i think goes on behind closed doors in the Bones compound? lots of excessive drinking and debauchery. same as all the frat-houses on every campus in america.
just my opinion of course... nothing more.
