Membership is by invitation only.
Once joined, a member remains in the society for life, with no additional membership fees required. The purposes of the society are to recognise and encourage scholastic acheivement in undergraduate study, and provide career assistance, scholarships, networking and an avenue for community service. Our Vice-Chancellor came here from the University of Sydney, where a chapter of Golden Key has existed for many years, and was very supportive of a new chapter forming. In early 1997, invitations to join were sent to qualifying students, and the society actually began. Of course, none of this could have happened without the hard work and dedication of Asha Bowen, then President.
