by Arthur Morius Francis (Author)
Secret Societies Vol. 3: The Collegiate Secret Societies of America is a compilation by Arthur Morius Francis, an independent researcher and author who has written on secret societies, the Bohemian Club, and related topics. Published in 2015, the volume is the third in a series that gathers published material on concealed organizations. It assembles articles, reports, and accounts focused specifically on the secret societies of American colleges and universities.
The book surveys a range of collegiate societies, including Yale’s Skull and Bones, the Anak Society at Georgia Tech, Raven’s Claw, the Cadaver Society at Washington and Lee, and others whose membership, rituals, and influence have remained partially or fully concealed. Drawing on contemporary journalism, campus lore, and earlier investigations, the collection presents the histories, initiation practices, symbols, and reputed alumni networks of these groups. It treats them as institutions that have shaped student life and, in some cases, later careers in politics, finance, and the professions.
Sovereign Archive Publishing is proud to offer this reference collection on American campus societies. Secret Societies Vol. 3 remains essential reading for those interested in learning more about collegiate secret societies, the history of student organizations, and the literature of hidden networks in the United States.
