The group was founded in 1832 by Phi Beta Kappa pledges William Huntington Russell and Alphonso Taft. The first Skull and Bones class, or "cohort," was the very next year, 1832-33. The society was all male until 1992.

Traditionally, the Yale Daily News published the names of newly "tapped" members of all major secret societies at Yale, but this practice was abandoned during the student rebellion of the sixties. It has since been reinstated informally by the campus tabloid The Rumpus. Hence, although the society's current membership rosters and activities are not officially disclosed, the membership is in fact a matter of knowledge among the incoming and outgoing Yale senior class, university administration, active alumni from other societies, and underclassmen. This may be said of the other societies, as well, particularly Scroll and Key and Wolf's Head.

The society inducts only rising seniors during the late junior year prior to their graduation.

By reputation, "Bonesmen" tapped the current football and heavyweight rowing captains as well as notables from the Yale Daily News and Yale Lit before the 1970s. However, the group's decision, after much dispute, to admit women eventually diversified the membership. Numerous undergraduate constituencies are better represented among the recently-tapped membership compared to the cohorts, or delegations, that included the 27th, 41st and 43rd Presidents of the United States.

Many people believe that the membership of Skull and Bones had been totally secret. However the membership for each year is held in the Yale University archives. The membership rosters cover the years 1833-1985, with some additional years. The top repetitive families in Skull and Bones are also known because in 1985 an anonymous source leaked rosters to a private researcher, Antony C. Sutton who wrote a book on the group titled America's Secret Establishment: An Introduction to the Order of Skull & Bones. This leaked 1985 data was kept privately for over 15 years, as Sutton feared that the photocopied pages could somehow identify the member who leaked it. The information was finally reformatted as an appendix in the book Fleshing out Skull and Bones, a compilation edited by Kris Millegan, published in 2003.

Many influential figures have been in Bones and influential families have often had multiple members over successive generations, much like other societies at Yale. Bonesmen include U.S. Presidents such as George H. W. Bush and William Howard Taft, Supreme Court Justices, the Allerton family (who were part of the Mayflower compact), and U.S. business leaders.

Both 2004 Presidential Nominees - Democratic Massachusetts Senator John Kerry and Republican President George W. Bush - were members of Skull and Bones. The nominees were interviewed separately by Meet the Press's Tim Russert. When asked about the organization, both declined to give any details.

i dont think it is good or bad. It is just an exclusive club for powerful college kids from wealthy families. They are famous because bush and kerry were both members at yale, but there are more of these clubs. The freemasons were a similar club long ago, but aren't nearly as famous today. They still exist though. It's just a club, don't be a conspiracy theorist. Most people join to pick up chicks and for networking with people after college, like a frat.

Any organization that has as its members powerful politicians and men of business and keeps a secret agenda is dangerous. If they cannot work out in the open for all to see, then I suggest that all beware of their motives.

IF they exist, I doubt they have humanity's best interests at heart.
