Golden Key is an honor society you can qualify for at the beginning of either your junior or senior year by being in the top 15% of your class. Run out of Atlanta, Georgia, ![[WWW]](http://wikispot.org/wiki/eggheadbeta/img/sycamore-www.png){kind=small}
Golden Key is a non-profit primarily designed to be a community service organization. The local chapter, one of 350 chapters worldwide, organizes many community service activities, including tutoring younger children.
Golden Key costs $65 to join, much of which returns to students in the form of scholarships. Since scholarships go to those more involved in the organization, it makes a nice pyramid scheme for people who like community service.
Golden Key also has an interesting points system, in which you get one point per hour of community service. Ten points allows you to be able to buy nifty graduation items which make you look hella cooler at commencement. Still, some people wonder if we should really be assigning numerical values to good deeds; does tying rewards to good deeds really make a person more moral? The question may be moot, as Golden Key does do good stuff for the community.
