Background

The Golden Chain Society is a senior honor society that recognizes the extraordinary contributions of up to 12 outstanding rising seniors each year. Founded in 1926, it is the oldest organization of its kind at NC State University. To date, there are 1,057 links in the Chain, including former Gov. James B. Hunt Jr., legendary basketball coach Everett Case, UNC System President Emeritus William C. Friday, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Henry Hugh Shelton and NC State’s Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame Coach Kay Yow. Induction into The Golden Chain Society is the highest honor that can be bestowed upon a rising senior at NC State University. Links in the Golden Chain Society come from a variety of backgrounds and disciplines, but they hold certain traits in common.

Criteria

Applicants must:

Be rising seniors (i.e. planning to graduate as a member of the Class of 2010)

Demonstrate superior scholarship, exceptional leadership, remarkable character and service contributions

Be in good standing with the university

Each new link receives a certificate, a gold chain link and a key with the society’s emblem. The design of the key represents the sundial that lies on a pedestal in front of Primrose Hall. Surrounding the sundial are the twelve links added annually to the “Chain.”
