Boston University’s Scarlet Key Honor Society is a prestigious University-wide honor. This year’s “tapping” event was held Thursday, September 21, 2023, and a formal induction ceremony will occur during Commencement Weekend in May. Scarlet Key classes have opportunities to network and get to know each other throughout the year.

“It’s an honor to be recognized by my colleagues for supporting our students,” says Jean. “CFA students are empathetic and passionate. Working with them is a privilege.”

Boston University’s Scarlet Key Honor Society was founded in 1938 as an activities honor society, in which new members were voted in, or tapped, annually by existing ones. Learn more about the history of this prestigious community.

Today, BU faculty and staff nominate potential inductees annually in the spring for fall tapping, followed by a formal induction ceremony during Commencement Weekend in May. Scarlet Key classes have opportunities to network and get to know each other throughout their senior year.

The Scarlet Key Honor Society was founded in 1938 by 17 students as an activities honor society. According to the 1939 yearbook The Hub, entry into the Honor Society was awarded to students who were “dedicated to the promotion and coordination of an all-University consciousness through student activities.” Since its inception, the society has grown to thousands of members and recruits around 100 students from each senior class.
