Georgetown University: une société secrète soulève la controverse



 Cette société ne se compare pas aux Skulls and Bones de Yale University, mais un candidat à la présidence du gouvernement étudiant est membre de la Second Stewards Society. Après les révélations, Jack Appelbaum a été défait par une marge restreinte.

 "At Georgetown, only one organization can inspire that kind of mayhem: the Second Stewards Society.

The all-male group, which doesn’t identify its members or detail its activities, has long been a source of rumor and controversy on the 104-acre campus, where some students harbor suspicions that group members are pushing a right-wing political agenda — charges the Stewards call absurd.

 The last time the society made big news was back in the late 1980s, when, after students’ complaints about elitism and sexism, the Stewards declared themselves dead. Now, thanks to an anonymous blogger with the very Washington moniker “Steward Throat,” the Stewards are back at the center of Hoya scuttlebutt. The most entertaining conspiracy theories — cabals, power grabs, sinister alliances — sound a lot like a campus version of “House of Cards,” the Netflix political drama.
