It’s one of UGA’s “Secret” societies.
The Sphinx Club in the oldest honorary society at the University of Georgia, recognizing students, faculty, staff and alumni who have made significant contributions to the University, the State of Georgia and the nation. The society is believed to have evolved around 1897 from an earlier society, “yukpali”, which was founded in December 1896.
Members are given sequential numbers as they are initiated, with sequential letter combinations being assigned to honorary members. Pandora yearbooks from the early part of the 20th century often contain photographs from Sphinx initiations in which members appear in costume. This tradition continued as late as 1941, when the well known photo of Sphinx members mocking Governor Eugene Talmadge was taken.
Each year, Blue Key members select new initiates from a pool of candidates nominated by deans, senior administrators, and current/alumni Blue Key members. Students selected for membership into Blue Key have shown high levels of distinction in academics, leadership, and service to the University and the community. We are seeking late 2nd year undergraduate students, 3rd and 4th year undergraduate students, as well as graduate/professional students. Please remember that we are interested in students with a superb combination of excellent academic credits combined with outstanding leadership and service.
Students with cumulative GPAs falling within the top ten percent of the graduating class will be considered for the award. Selection of the awardee will hinge on other factors, such as their current major GPA, research contributions and service within the college.
