following the transformation of yale's debating societies into the yale union, and later, the yale political union, brothers in unity and the linonian society ceased function as literary and debating societies. both societies continued their existence in secrecy, recanting their roles as intellectual colloquiums and instead prioritizing power and social influence as paramount. linonia morphed into the template of other yale secret societies, although its current existence is still questioned and its membership is not disclosed to the public as of 2012. while unsubstantiated, linonia is said to participate in yale's april "tap night," along with the college's senior societies.
