For my undergraduate degree, I went to Yale, and then for graduate school, I enrolled in Cambridge University.
Dreary and massive, these buildings belonged to Yale’s oldest secret societies — hundreds of years old, with members including former presidents, Rockefellers, and Vanderbilts.
As George Bush wrote in his memoir, “[In my] senior year, I joined Skull and Bones, a secret society; so secret, I can’t say anything more.”In my final year, I joined a secret society at Yale, which was founded 20 years ago.
But my favorite memories at Yale and Cambridge were never at events in floor-length gowns or strappy heels.
I’m tremendously lucky to have experienced this universe of elite education, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
