Recently my roomate was trying to educate me on sororities and fraternities which I am completely clueless about. During the conversation she brought up a word that I had heard before but forgotten about. She was explaining to me how masons were a group of professionsals who basically looked out for each other. I remember seeing some type of special on it a couple years back but the info pretty much went in one ear and ou the other. Apparantly every president except for 4 have been masons. What was more interesting was that she said the 4 presidents who werent masons were coincidentally the same ones who had been assasinated! Crazy right? Its almost impossible for me to believe that Obama and Clinton were masons. Masons are supposed to be the forefathers of fraternities and sororities or basically where the ideals of a frat/sorority come from. Masons apparantly have really strange practices ( some groups have even been accused of worshiping satan...according to my roommate of course). Hazing is probably one of the ways that greek groups and masons are related. I think this topic is really interesting because since I know nothing on it there is a lot of room for learning. Also just the idea of the presidents being involved in a group like this in order to make it to powerful positions seems really conniving and I would like to know more about it.

I think this could be a really interesting idea... have you ever heard of the Skulls and Bones? its a secret society at Yale university... its rumored that Bush was one and it was also in a movie called the Skulls. The whole idea of the not-so-secret society like the Masons has really had more influence on history than we know. Like how many leaders have been members? if you could divide this up into enough ideas for a group project... it could be really interesting!!
