Hat Societies At Dickinson College
Dickinson College has three senior "Hat Societies" on its campus. This name is given by the distinctive hats members wear on campus. To gain admittance into a hat society, one is "tapped" as a junior by current senior members to then serve as a member during his or her senior year. The induction ceremony is known as a tapping ceremony. While membership criteria differ amongst the organizations, overall character and general campus leadership are major requirements for membership in any of the three organizations.
The three hat societies at Dickinson College are:
Raven's Claw or "White Hats" - 7 senior men
The Order of Scroll and Key or "Gray Hats" - 7 senior men
Wheel and Chain or "Blue Hats" - 10 senior women
