UNC's Order of The Golden Fleece: Behind the secrecy, unity and nomination process
Posted Apr 17, 2025
Founded in 1904, the Order is said to consist of campus leaders and changemakers, with the purpose of fostering connections among different University groups. “There was division of thought and spirit on the University campus,” according to a passage from "History of the Golden Fleece," 1903-1950, a book in the Wilson Special Collections Library.
