History of the DePaul Chapter

The Golden Key International Honour Society was charted at DePaul University on Sunday, May 21, 1989 and was a huge success. Golden Key grew to be the most popular honor society at DePaul and continued to be big for many years. Since April of 2005 the DePaul chapter has been very active in the honor society and has been building up their chapter to be better every year.

Eight people represented DePaul University in Atlanta at the International Conference in August 2007. We are proud to have an executive board of 9 people this year, 2007-08 academic year. This E-board is made up of the best people the DePaul chapter has seen in years and will make our chapter bigger and better than ever.
