The Order of The Bulls Blood

The Order of the Bull's Blood is Rutgers University’s oldest and most secret society. The Order of the Bull’s Blood is a longstanding mythical college fraternity that has much in common with Skull and Bones. The clandestine group dates back to 1834 and is responsible for elaborate pranks around New Jersey.
Some newspaper accounts say the Rutgers secret society took credit for stealing a cannon from rival Princeton University in 1875. In 2006, the Order of the Bull's Blood claimed to be responsible for a string of vandalism incidents on that campus, including spray-painting graffiti on Princeton buildings and a cannon, according to the Princetonian, the campus newspaper. In 2016, also the 250th year anniversary of Rutgers University, the Order of the Bulls Blood claimed to have vandalized Paramus Catholic High School on the eve of the University of Michigan holding a football camp there.
In 2001, journalist Spencer Ackerman wrote a lengthy account in the New York Press of being “tapped” by the Order of the Bull's Blood while he was editor at the Daily Targum, the Rutgers student newspaper. A man came to the Targum office, tapped Ackerman on the shoulder and said, “Bulls blood!...Accept or reject?” according to his account.
Historians and researchers remain skeptical the secret society really exists. William Brahms, the chief librarian of the Camden County Library System and author of a history of Rutgers' Cap and Skull society, also researched the Order of the Bulls Blood and concluded it is as elaborate hoax.
