(30,540 posts)1. THANKS for the link...
to many damned insiders with their little cliques running not only this country but just about everything else!
But Yale is a good place to start when looking for the insiders.
My ancestor class of 1748 was a patriot, though. A robust patriot. And I was not a Yalie, for the record.

(13,565 posts)10. His grandfather Everett Edward Sr. belonged to Theta Xi at Yale.
And he was a resident of Franklin Hall. I didn't find a secret society for him, but I'll keep looking.

where), about Kavanaugh being groomed for this since high school, maybe earlier.
This would definitely lend credence to what I had read.

from the link in the OP:
In October 2010, Yale's DKE chapter came under fire after its members shouted inflammatory and misogynistic chants at an Old Campus pledge ritual.[21] The chapter's president, Jordan Forney, apologized for the fraternity's conduct, characterizing it as a "lapse in judgment."[22] but Yale's feminist magazine Broad Recognition called for administrative action against the leadership of DKE. By October 24, 2010, Dean Mary Miller of Yale College had strongly recommended to the DKE National Executive Director, Dr. Douglas Lanpher, that the chapter at Yale be put on probation indefinitely.[23] Instead, on May 17, 2011, the chapter was suspended for five years.[24] The order barred DKE from conducting any activities on the Yale campus during that time.[25]
