Skull and Keys

Skull & Keys is one of the oldest men's honor society at the University of California, Berkeley. The organization was started by Theta Nu Epsilon.

Skull & Keys was founded in 1892 by, among others, the novelist Frank Norris. Skull & Keys was founded as an upperclassman society for members of Theta Nu Epsilon. The Zeta or Berkeley chapter of Theta Nu Epsilon was founded as a Sophomore society at Berkeley eleven years before in 1881. Skull & Keys membership was initially drawn from Senior and Junior classes at the university.

Historically, it meets semi-monthly in a facility known only as the Tomb. It is led by the Uncle, who is elected by voice vote of the active members. Invitees endure the initiation ritual known as the Running.
