The Crimson Key Society (CKS) is an organization at Harvard University devoted to serving the University.[1] Founded on April 14, 1948, CKS was originally formed to welcome visiting athletic teams to Harvard and represented Harvard's first organized commitment to hospitality.[2] Crimson Key later went on to provide campus tours to prospective students and visitors, welcome incoming students during Freshman Week, and tour the United States to recruit applicants.[3] CKS has played a major role in expanding Harvard's global image, helping to gain world renown for the university as both an academic institution and a brand.[4] Notable members of the society include Benazir Bhutto, Radcliffe Class of 1973.[5]
The CKS holds events for first-year students, including an annual satirical screening of the Harvard-featured film Love Story, heckling the screen from beginning to end for its "sappy clichés."[6]
