One of the oldest
secret societies at
Yale University,
Book and Snake is known as a much more progressive and laid back society then most of its counterparts. Book and Snake was the first society at Yale to accept women and minorities. A senior society, each year Book and Snake taps in 16 new members to its class. Members are often leaders in different activities on campus and integral parts of Yale's academic, athletic, arts and social scene. Due to its friendly atmosphere and the popularity of its members, almost anyone who is asked to join Book and Snake eagerly does so, often picking it instead of
Skull & Bones, Wolf's head or Scroll & Key.
