I do have links to this information, but they are at home. I will post them as soon as I get home from work. Don't forget that the fraternity has been infiltrated by a reporter who exposed the rituals and stuff (as well as pictures of their "crypt", including a room with license pllates all over the walls ). Also several former Bonesmen, frustrated with some things about the frat, decided to expose this stuff to a Yale newspaper reporter.

And I will strike down upon thee with great vengange and furious anger, those who attempt to poision, and destroy my brothers, and you will know my name is the lord! When I lay my vengeance on thee."

I guess you're right, I really wouldn't want people prying into my buisness. but...
It is a question of public scrutiny. I beleive that these peole have accepted this job, and that I as well as you seb are thier interviewers, as well as thier boss. They are public servants. We pay them. If a compay has the right to make me take a drug test and inquire about a criminal past, then why cant I have the ability to question a president's devotion to his country? As well as veify and completely check his background. After all this isn't a grocery store, this is America, take your gvernment seriously. It was created by the people for the people, and you seem to demonstrate that we should think otherwise.
People hide thier greatest, and deepest secrets far away from the public eye, in private, personal settings, with trusted people only.
A drug test and a criminal background check are acceptable because they WOULD affect the way a person does their job. But if you're telling me that someone has to answer too you about what they do ON THEIR OWN TIME INN A PRIVATE CLUB, you're nuts. You don't want your employer intruding in YOUR private life, do you? Your employer can claim everything you just did, but it's illegal for a reason. Just like sexual preference and religion can't be discriminated against. So don't be a hypocrite.

Again, I think Sabatwerk's opinion is a bit off. Some jobs (especially the important ones) require close scrutiny- even going beyond the obligatory 'pee test' & criminal background check. That may all that is needed to qualify for a job a "Home Depot" or "Wal-Mart" etc... But usually most jobs that require a more substantial background check to obtain employment accompanying the appropriate security clearance, quite a bit beyond that cursory check is done.
Rest assured, a more expansive background check gathers nearly every aspect of an individuals life and is scrutenized in minute detail. The more critiacl the job & required clearance, the greater scrutiny. Friends, family & aquaintances are checked. Past school teachers, college professors are consulted. Interviews are done. Your lifestyle, habits, income & assets are explored. Known weaknesses within your family in regard to mental illnesses & physical health are noted. Also included under scrutiny- are your influances, associations & fraternities.

That is absolutely untrue. Background checks are only able to verify whatever is a matter of public record. It is ILLEGAL for an employer to intrude upon your PRIVATE LIFE. I cannot be discriminated by my fraternal associations, personal friendships or private dealings, just like I cannot be discriminated by my religion or sexual preference.
