History

"Unlocking the potential in the leaders of tomorrow"

Orange Keys, official ambassadors of SHSU, serve as hosts for university functions such as banquets, luncheons, meetings, speakers, visitation days and career fairs. The group was founded in 1959 as a service organization for women. Men joined the group for the first time in 1982. Today, Orange Keys is composed of 15 upper class students and selection to this prestigious group is recognized as one of the highest honors a student can achieve at SHSU. Service, leadership and academic excellence are the foundations of this elite organization.
