Are you Yale secret society material?
Can you keep a secret? Do you have Thursday and Sunday nights free? Can you perform secret handshakes and passwords with a straight face? So far so good, but the Yale senior society landscape has changed since the days when there were seven “landed” societies (i.e. those with their own buildings) and a handful of undergrounds: at last count, there were at least 41 societies on campus.
So before you accept a tap from someone purporting to represent a senior society, you're going to have to make sure someone's not yanking your Mace and Chain. To that end, we've prepared a quiz: some of the names on this list are real Yale senior societies, and some of them are metal bands. See if you can tell them apart.
