Skull and Bones. Not much of a secret. ;) The answer required for The Daily Telegraph General Knowledge crossword on the 8th March 2008 was Elihu. Apparently this is the sixth oldest secret society at Yale according to Wikipedia. Currently there are 9 so-called "above-ground" senior societies at Yale: Skull & Bones, Scroll & Key, Berzelius, Book & Snake, Wolf's Head, Elihu, St. Elmo, Manuscript, and Mace & Chain. Each has its own building (tomb) and a large trust fund. This much is common knowledge among Yale undergraduates and verifiable(?) on wikipedia and guidestar.org. According to Yale Rumpus, there are at least twice as many "underground" societies (newer groups with no tomb and less alumni support compared to their aboveground counterparts).

Why so many secret societies in Yale?

Because the original secret societies are no longer enough to tackle and solve the problems of the world. Even with the number of secret societies now, there are still not enough, as you can see from any newspaper. To solve this problem, Yale University will soon expand to admit more students both at its New Haven campus, and also in a Yale-supervised campus in Singapore. More secret societies my be anticipated once the university has enough students to create them.
