" Let's investigate Skull and Bones' rituals and beliefs. Little is firmly known about Skull and Bones because of their secrecy since they were established in 1833 - which secrecy is as complete as any society in the world. They possess all the requirements of a true secret society.

1. They were formed in secret, and all their activities are carried out in secret.

2. Membership is by invitation ONLY. Potential members are carefully screened as to suitability before they are invited to join.

3. The first night of the new member - called an initiate - is critically important. The initiate SWEARS TOTAL OBEDIENCE AND LOYALTY to the secret society. This pledge is BOUND by serious oaths, some of which would be deadly if carried out, just as in Freemasonry. The first night is also critically important as it binds the initiate to the society by means of rituals, oaths, and CONFESSIONS. "
