Five Secret Student Societies in the United States

繪/也 圓

In the hallowed halls of the most prestigious universities in the nation, there is an even more exclusive series of secret student societies that "tap" prospective members to join their prestigious①organizations. The cause of numerous conspiracy theories, membership to the secret societies has included presidents, CEOs and luminaries in a variety of fields.

1. SKULL AND BONES SOCIETY

Ironically, probably the most famous of the student secret societies—the Skull and Bones Society—gained national prominence②during the 2004 presidential election when it emerged that both major candidates, President George W. Bush and then-Senator John Kerry, were members of the society during their tenure at Yale University. The society has popped up occasionally in pop-culture references, with the name of the organization being rumored to refer to the club's ownership of the stolen skulls of Indian chief Geronimo, among others.

2. SCROLL AND KEY SOCIETY

Scroll and Key is another Yale University secret society, and the rivals of the Skull and Bones at the school. Founded 1842 after disputed elections at the Skull and Bones, the society can count among its members renowned composer Cole Porter and political commentator Fareed Zakaria. The Scroll and Key Society is also known for its contributions and donations③to Yale, including the endowment for funding the Yale University Press.

3. QUILL AND DAGGER

Moving from one Ivy League University to another, the Quill and Dagger is a society at Cornell University, and the namesake of a tower on campus④that is used for the society's meetings and events. Membership includes many in the halls of power in Washington and in the top levels of business and high society. The society is also known for the erection of a war memorial at Cornell dedicated to alumni and students who served in WWI.

4. ORDER OF GIMGHOUL

The Order of the Gimghoul is the first non-Ivy League society that we are looking at, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have all the frills and traditions that are expected of a secret society. Founded by University of North Carolina students in 1889, the order derivesits tradition from the legend of Peter Dromgoole, a former student who mysteriously disappeared from campus in the 19th century. The order is known for the ownership of a castle that serves as the group's headquarters⑤and has been valued at more than $1 million.

5. ANAK SOCIETY

The ANAK Society is an organization at the Georgia Institute of Technology formed in 1908 that has had a huge hand in much of the university's history. For one, the society had a major role in establishing the school's yearbook, student newspaper and student government. The group also had an important input in the civil rights movement at the university including helping to integrate the campus and blocking the Ku Klux Klan from starting a Georgia Tech chapter. Membership to the honor society is highly coveted and members of the organization include hundreds of notable alumni.

在全美頂尖的那些大學(xué)里，活躍著一群比這些學(xué)校的聲名本身更令人瞠目結(jié)舌的秘密組織，它們像午夜星云一般地散布在那些宏偉的教學(xué)樓中，蠱惑著潛在會員們?nèi)ニ偎偎饔懸粡垐竺怼Ｄ慊蛟S想不到，那些層出不窮的陰謀論的始作俑者中，那些神秘組織的成員列表里，甚至還有許多你耳熟能詳?shù)拿帧蚴钦味媸郑蚴巧虡I(yè)巨擘，他們正活躍在國家機器的每個肯綮環(huán)節(jié)。

1.骷髏會

骷髏會或許是這些神秘學(xué)生組織里最負盛名的，而對于它的關(guān)注度更是在2004年總統(tǒng)大選之際達到了頂峰。原因便是大選中兩位最具實力的候選人——喬治·布什和時任麻省參議員的約翰·克里，都曾在就讀耶魯時是骷髏會的成員。這個組織在有關(guān)通俗文化的文獻中也不時地被提及，人們傳言骷髏會的得名與他們收藏了印第安領(lǐng)袖杰羅尼莫的頭蓋骨有關(guān)。

2. 軸匙社團

軸匙社團是耶魯校園內(nèi)另一大秘密組織，也是骷髏會的強勁對手。軸匙社團成立于1842年，也就是在骷髏會選舉風(fēng)波之后，著名作曲家科爾·波特、政治評論家法里德·扎卡利亞都曾是軸匙社團的成員。該社團還以他們對于耶魯?shù)木揞~捐贈而為人矚目，耶魯大學(xué)出版社的建立就得益于他們的捐助。

3.羽毛筆與匕首協(xié)會

下面我們來看看誕生于另一所常春藤聯(lián)盟大學(xué)的秘密組織?？的螤柎髮W(xué)的羽毛筆與匕首協(xié)會便是典型一例，在康奈爾校園內(nèi)甚至有一座同名建筑專門用于該社團的集會活動。羽毛筆與匕首協(xié)會的成員包括許多在華盛頓特區(qū)身居高位的官員、商界精英以及其他上流社會的活躍人士。該協(xié)會聲名鵲起的另一原因是他們曾在校園內(nèi)為那些效勞于一戰(zhàn)的校友樹立了一座紀念碑。

4.津購會

津購會是我們所介紹的第一個不屬于常春藤聯(lián)盟大學(xué)的社團，但這并不意味著它還未建立起一個成熟的秘密組織所應(yīng)具備的嚴密規(guī)則。它由北卡羅來納大學(xué)的學(xué)生創(chuàng)建于1889年，該社團的成立可追溯至該校的傳奇校友彼得·德魯古爾身上。這位曾經(jīng)的北卡學(xué)生于19世紀莫名失蹤，從此成為校園里的一個謎。同時津購會還以他們?yōu)閰f(xié)會所捐建的總部城堡而聞名，據(jù)估計這座神秘的建筑價值逾一百萬美元。

5.阿納協(xié)會

阿納協(xié)會隸屬于喬治亞理工學(xué)院。這個成立于1908年的校園秘密組織在學(xué)院的漫長歷史中扮演了舉足輕重的角色。比如，正是因為該協(xié)會的存在，喬治亞理工的年鑒、校報以及學(xué)生會才得以一一建立。該協(xié)會在促進校園民權(quán)這一層面也起到了至關(guān)重要的作用，比如維護校園一體化，以及扼殺3K黨組建喬治亞理工分部的企圖。所有人都對加入這個功勛卓著的社團蠢蠢欲動，而該協(xié)會的幾百位會員也的確是精英中的精英。
