Sage and Chalice

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sage and Chalice is a secret society for seniors at Yale University.[1][2]

History[edit]

Sage and Chalice is also known as YPSRT or the Yale Potato Sack Relay Team. Like other secret societies at Yale, Sage and 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 his or her life history, personal development, and aspirations to the group.

The society throws a popular, annual spring fundraising party in New York City open to members of the society and their invited guests. Sage and Chalice has also become known for frequently hosting parties on campus for Yale seniors.

Notable members[edit]

Barbara Bush, the daughter of U.S. President George W. Bush, joined the society despite being a legacy prospect for Skull and Bones.[3] Other notable alumni include professional hockey player Rob O'Gara and Olympic gold medalist Sarah Hughes. Brandon Mangan, a collegiate men's lacross coach at was a member of Sage and Chalice.[4][5][6]
