Your student may have received an invitation to join the Golden Key Honor Society. A few of the parents had asked on the listserv if this was a legitimate organization and I wanted to post the response from the campus advisor.
Stephanie
I am the advisor for CofC’s chapter of Golden Key Honor Society. Your daughter received an invitation because she is in the top 15% of her class, so congratulations! Golden Key opens doors to scholarships, conferences and study abroad opportunities. Here is the main website with more information: http://www.goldenkey.org/GKIHS . I recommend clicking on “Member Benefits and Services.”
Please let me know if you have additional questions.
Thank you!
