Considerations for Starting a Blue Key Chapter
 

To inquire about the procedures to initiate a new Blue Key Chapter, contact Christopher M. Sieverdes, Ph.D., Executive Director


Start-up Criteria

  1. Blue Key members must have at least a 3.0 GPA (on a 4.0 system).  They must also exhibit exceptional campus leadership, service, and character.
     

  2. These students shall be juniors, seniors, or graduate students at the time of the charter.  Exceptional sophomores may be included.  Males and females should be considered for membership.  Blue Key seeks diversity in membership based on gender, race, ethnicity, physical disability, and belief systems.
     

  3. A new chapter must have a minimum of eight student members.  Ten or more is ideal. 
     

  4. Identify a Blue Key Advisor from the ranks of faculty, administration, or full-time staff (student affairs, academic affairs, or related area).  The advisor will certify the credentials of the proposed members.
     

  5. The New Chapter Registration Fee is $100.  The chapter shall receive a Blue Key Chapter Charter Certificate.
     

  6. New Members shall pay a Blue Key Registration and Lifetime Membership fee of $30 per person.  It is recommended that all membership be combined in one check payable to Blue Key Honor Society.
     

  7. Communicate with the Blue Key Executive Director to clarify procedures and alternative methods of attracting members and setting standards.  Check this website for additional information.
     

  8. Examine the Blue Key Honor Society Constitution on this website.
     

  9. The Blue Key Petition for membership is available on this website.
     

  10. It is acceptable for a Blue Key Chapter to set standards that exceed the credentials noted above.
