Why We Love Skull and Bones, Reason No. 2678
Since no Bonesman is allowed to ‘fess up to being one, the organization is, by necessity, unable to denounce frauds. Consequently, it is really easy to play jokes on them. Yale pre-frosh Princeton Ji Chang (not to be confused with Princeton freshman Princeton Kwong; apparently there was a bubble of Princetons born around 1990) stumbled across a group of “Bonesmen” offering photo-ops during Bulldog Days:
So here I am, young, impressionable Princeton Ji Chang, walkin’ round Yale during orientation week [Bulldog Days] when — suddenly and without warning — a bunch of cloaked Skull-and-Bonesmen came up to me! Apparently they were holding a fundraiser: $2 polaroids, and $0.25 autographs. So, of course, I totally took a picture with them in front of their creepy building (i think they call it a tomb or something?). Anyway, the picture’s great. But the whole thing struck me as a little odd - does Skull and Bones really need to be doing fundraising? And do they always wear such creepy clothes?
Nah. Usually they just pop the collars on their vampire capes and call it a day.

I don’t see what the big deal is. This kids name is Princeton. No body makes a stink about MIT Romney or even Cal Penn (double trouble).
It’d be different if I named my kid Skullandbones Jones or … The Hesperus???????

I think it’s safe to assume the photos were a gag by the Pundits (or other pranksters). Well played.

Not pundits but a different junior/senior society that plays pranks.

if they were asking for money, then one of them was probably Victor Cazares.

Two of my friends are S&Bs, and this is totally the kind of thing they make new members do to humilate them. There some youtube footage of this nonsense, but basically, new members (called deaths) are made to engage in all kinds of “poor” activities, such as begging.

“but basically, new members (called deaths) are made to engage in all kinds of “poor” activities, such as begging.”
well since they now tap gay, poor mexicans who used to live in trailers, i guess begging for money shouldn’t be strange to some of these members. that’s what you get anyway for being an obvious “token tap.”

get over it Akash, he dumped you. Also, don’t you have legal troubles to worry about.

Oh VICTOR, go out and buy something for Steven Kochevar or Noah Perez who whoever else you plan to take money from in the future please. That way you might be able to convince them that you’re not just using them for a little while longer.
Oh and don’t forget to say hi to your uncle for me.

Things that Victor Cazares and George W Bush have in common:
1. Both of them were in Skull and Bones
2. Both of them got mostly “C” and “D” grades at Yale
3. Both of them are drunks
4. Both of them are “from” Texas
5. Both of them have funny eyes and are kind of retarded looking
