Order of the Golden Fleece (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill)

Founded in 1904, the Order of the Golden Fleece was patterned after the Skull and Bones of Yale University. The Order's goal was to unite student leaders in the resolution of student problems for the betterment of campus life. Considered the highest honorary at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the Golden Fleece selects its members based upon service to the University as reflected in scholarship, motivation, creativity, loyalty, and leadership in academic and extracurricular pursuits. The majority of the inductees are seniors; juniors, graduate students, faculty, and alumni are also eligible for membership. Women have been eligible for induction since 1972. Officers of the Order include the Jason or presiding officer, the Hyparchos or vice-presiding officer, the Grammateus or secretary, and the Chrystopher or treasurer.
