#16: John Kerry – Skull and Bones
The 2004 presidential election was unusual, featuring two candidates from Yale’s secret society, Skull and Bones. Kerry joined the society in 1965, taking part in its mysterious initiation rituals and exclusive gatherings inside the group’s windowless “tomb.” Membership provided him access to a powerful network of influential alumni. After Yale, Kerry served as a military officer in Vietnam, then began a lengthy career as a United States Senator. When asked about Skull and Bones during his campaign, Kerry deflected, laughing off the questions and refusing to share any details about the group’s secretive culture.
