Right; ask the average person to name a frat and they will think of Skull & Bones at Yale.

  That's actually not a frat. It's a "secret society." Related but not the same thing.

    What's the difference between a fraternity and secret society? One is more exclusive and secretive?
    • ghaff 9y ago
      It varies a lot. Yes, secret societies tend to be more secretive. In some cases, though not Skull & Bones, membership is secret. And they generally don't have public parties as tends to be the case with fraternities. At least some members also generally live in fraternity houses while that's generally not the case with secret societies. That said, there are lots of variants of both as well as honor societies, eating clubs, etc.

    Ironically being the most well known! That and Bohemian Grove!
