Histories of Honor Societies

Membership

Greek honor societies fall into various categories, including undergraduate, graduate, general academic, and professional. Many have a post for a historian as one of the officers.  Most today are very public in nature but a small group such as Phi Sigma Omega and Skull and Bones are more discrete in their publications.  Here is a list of some honor societies that have websites and whose histories are more generally available:
