Wouldn't it be obvious that you WERE in the society if you did leave the room every time someone mentioned it?

what's this??? Using LOGIC where Secret Societies (& other conspiricies) are concerned??? Tsk tsk.
Personally I thought the whole segment on collegiate secret societies was silly. Sort of like a factual show on Masons going off on a tangent about the Illuminati or the like. Some of the people on the show seems to have a bug up their arse about fraternities perpetuating elitism and the like, and it seemed to be the attitude that 'if you thought fraternities were scarying, check out these secret societies!!! they're worse!!! Wooooo!!'. Sigh.
The lady they were showing talking about the Skull & Bones and who wrote a book about them. Was reading comments about the book on amazon.com. What they failed to mention on the show (I believe) was that she's a Yale graduate AND a member of another secret society at Yale.
