Are Kerry and Bush members of the "Skull & Bones" from Yale?

I have heard a lot about this lately, and was just wondering; well, first off, what exactly IS the "Skull & Bones"? Is it just a simple fraternity or club or something? Are John Kerry and GWB members in it? If so, what does that mean or signify?

1. It's a very unique fraternity

A lot of powerful connections are made there, and a lot of powerful people have come from it. As for it being secretive, much of what goes on can be read in the many books that have been published--everything from the theft of Geronimo's skull to GHWB's sex life. I would say the most it signifies is that the two come from powerful families and were being bred as members of the elite--their education and membership fits that profile. Whether there is some vast evil secret conspiracy, I'm not so sure--it doesn't seem too different than other exclusive fraternities that the powerful elite have in common.
