They're alumni of your college and they talk your language. They are also trained representatives of the First Mutual Life Insurance Company Chartered in America.

    James Kamedulski AmSt 2001 C. Earle April 28, 2014 Secrecy, Traditions, and Cornelliana: A Brief History of the Secret Societies at Cornell University “ ‘Gather ye rosebuds while ye may.’ The Latin term for the sentence is ‘Carpe Diem’.” —William Keating, Dead Poet’s Society Cape Diem, seize the day, became the official motto of the secret society the Dead Poet’s Society of the 1989 classic movie that shares the name. Secret Societies have always been a fascination, a matter of intrigue, and mystery at the Great Schools of the United States. From the boarding schools of New England to the Great Universities (Yale, Cornell, Dartmouth, etc.), secret societies have existed and thrived; their traditions, intricacies, and pastimes have been simultaneously mysterious and omnipresent. Although their lists of powerful alumni are long, their actual influence on campus life is often questioned. What is the point of the secret societies today, and how did they get here? What was their influence, and does it continue to this day? This research paper seeks to answer these questions by going through the history and accomplishments of Cornell’s most influential and famous secret societies: the Quill and Dagger Society and the Sphinx Head Society. The Formations of The Societies on Campus The history of Cornell’s secret societies and their beginnings is the history of the beginnings of social clubs or societies at Cornell. During the mid-1800’s, fraternal organizations began to develop across the American college campuses. The objective of the fraternities, at that time, was more of a promotion of liberal thinking and free thought, a place where students could organize and thrive intellectually.
