Join alumni from the Ivies, Duke, Stanford, and others for a fascinating evening about the "Hidden Paths to Power"

as exposed in Alexandra Robbin's book, Secrets of the Tomb.

Alexandra, Yale '98, and has written for several publications and has published two books. In Secrets of the Tomb, she focused on Yale's Skull & Bones as a prism for viewing many such clubs and societies. She will share what she knows of these often hidden entities at the nation's leading universities.

 Secrets of the Tomb has received high praise, such as: "This is a vivid insider's account of the archetype of an old boys' club - whose members take care of each other in ways, sometimes benignly, sometimes less so, we outsiders aren't allowed to see. There may be more to some accidents of history - who ended up working for whom and where-than we'll ever know." -Seymour Hersh, author The Dark Side of Camelot.
