Diary Entry 1: Tap Day
April 1, 2013
I honestly wasn't sure I would be tapped tonight. My father and grandfather were both bonesmen, but they have told me my entire life that it wouldn't just be handed to me. I had to earn it.
I've worked hard for the past three years. I have done my best to be a leader and to show that I could be an influential man in both Skull and Bones, and in the country, upon graduation.
It was so quiet, standing out in the yard, blindfolded. It seemed like I stood there forever. I was hoping, praying that I would feel that tap on my shoulder. Just when I was thinking of how I would explain to father and grandfather why I wasn't tapped, I felt it. It was a light tap on my shoulder. I was then led up the steps into my dorm room. I didn't stop to think how odd it was that I they already knew where I lived. He never removed his hood. All he said was, "Are you in?" Without thinking, I said, "Yes." That's when everything changed. Forever.

Diary Entry 2: Initiation
May 1, 2013
There isn't much I can reveal about my initiation.
I was retrieved from my room in the middle of the night by five men in cloaks. I was blindfolded and placed in a car. I don't know how long we drove. When we arrived, my blindfold was removed and I stepped into the tomb. After that...well, I wish I could tell you.
