Golden Key International Honour Society is a nonprofit organization with over 300 chapters at major colleges and universities in the United States, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Australia, Canada, Malaysia, New Zealand and England. Leaders in higher education, business and public service are members of Golden Key and support the Society.

The Society was founded at Georgia State University on November 9, 1977 by a group of highly motivated undergraduate students. Since that time, Golden Key has established itself as a positive force in higher education. More than 900,000 lifetime members and 12,000 honorary members, including Presidents Clinton and Reagan, Secretary of State General Colin Powell, former President of South Africa Nelson Mandela, UNCF President William Gray, Nobel Prize Elie Weisel and former American Red Cross President Elizabeth Dole, are proud of their association with this dynamic organization.

Golden Key is governed by a board of directors, a council and delegates to the annual convention. A trained, professional staff is dedicated to the Society's chapters and to its individual members throughout the year. Golden Key has a permanent headquarters to keep members and alumni in touch, no matter where they may be.

The Society's constitution strictly prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex, religion, national origin, handicap, age, sexual orientation or social status.
