Caleb's Foley.

Ok, so, Caleb Mandrake's father is the head of the Skull's council and, from what I've gathered from the movie, Caleb has been in college for a few years. So, why all of a sudden is he being considered as a member of the Skulls if:

A) Everyone knows him around campus as prestigious, rich and snobby.

B) His father is the head of the council.

C) Comes from a revered family of status and wealth.

Keep in mind that Lucas is from a non-mentionable background and is virtually invisible, with nothing to really offer the Skulls, yet, he was considered the same time Caleb was. Seems pretty stupid.

i think that Luke did have much to offer the skulls. Don't you remember when the scouts were @ the crew meet and they were listing all the positive things about Macnamera? He's smart, he's a great crew teammeber...leading the school in many victories?

I guess maybe they either only take seniors or juniors (it was never clear which Caleb was) into the soceity. Maybe the soceity didn't want to automatically pick Caleb as the only younger person because they didn't want to show massive favortism towards the Mandrake's son, which is kind of inconsistent with the ridiculous politics of the Skulls. Or maybe Caleb's dad wanted to make Caleb work harder for it?

They are tapped during their Jr. year by Sr. members. That means they were Juniors and the Sr. members were Seniors.
