The Seal & Serpent Society is an independent fraternity located at Cornell University. Founded in 1905, it is one of the oldest continuously active independent fraternities in the United States. The chapter has been situated in its current location at 305 Thurston Avenue since 1929.
Unlike Yale's Skull and Bones, Seal and Serpent is a social fraternity rather than a secret society. At the time of its founding, many house clubs and societies had similar names, such as the extant Quill and Dagger and Sphinx Head, as well as the historical Gargoyle and Pyramid. As the Greek system expanded and incorporated many of these other organizations, Seal and Serpent maintained its independence. It is a member of Cornell’s Interfraternity Council (IFC).
Notable Alumni Include:
- Mark Kirk – US Congressman from Illinois
- William Ryerson – US Ambassador
- Jeff Applegate - Actor
