Cardinal Key (University of Wyoming Chapter)

Cardinal Key National Honor Society was organized on May 6, 1932, as a result of requests for a nationwide honor sorority for college women of at least a junior standing. The society was formed to recognize college juniors and seniors who were leaders in their college communities and deemed potential future leaders. Members were offered leadership training and had opportunities to develop their faith, trust, fortitude, wisdom, and patriotism. On July 1, 1976, the sorority complied with Title 9 legislation and opened its membership to both men and women. For historical purposes the name Sorority was retained.
