Sage and Chalice

Sage and Chalice is the name of a secret society at Yale University.[1] According to an article in the New York Times, Barbara Bush, the daughter of U.S. President George W. Bush, joined the society in preference to Skull and Bones, another secret senior society.[2] Other notable alumni include professional hockey player Rob O'Gara.

Like other secret societies at Yale, Sage & Chalice meets as a group on Thursdays and Sundays. One of the central aspects of meetings is the "bio," in which each member spends one evening recounting their life history, personal development, and aspirations to the group. The society is known for throwing a popular, annual spring fundraising party in New York City open to members of the society and their invited guests. Throughout the year, the society hosts "Nips" parties on campus for their fellow seniors.
