Yale College Secret Society founded in mid-19th century by Yale undergraduates who were not offered membership in Skull and Bones. Since that founding, it has grown into a large and successful organization, possessing a financial endowment even greater than that of Skull and Bones.
Housed in a persian-style "tomb" on the Yale campus at the corner of Wall and College Streets, it is the secret society closest to the office of Yale's President.
Although it has an alumni list (i.e. Dean Acheson, Calvin Trillin) equal to that of Bones, Scroll and Key remains under the radar of scholars and conspiracy theorists alike.
Within Scroll and Key, as with all secret societies, is a rich history of undergraduate life as it has evolved over the past 200 years. These archives are available only to members.

A word used to describe an attatchment to a keyring that connects more keyrings. Can be made of rope, twine, but usually cheap chain. Some have multiple removable attatchment points and require a key to remove. Makes absolutely no reference to fob.
Bob the sanitation worker bought a key fob because he thought it looked nifty and didn't mind his keys weighing three pounds.

A string of numbers or characters that often come with computer games or software. The user is required to input the CD key to install the product or play online.
A CD-key is verified by being plugged into a mathematical formula and checking to see if it returns the proper value. For example, a very simple CD-key system would check to make sure that all the numbers in the CD-key add up to a specified number. In addition to this, many games and software products require you to verify your CD-key over the internet. However, this doesn't stop people from creating "keygens" or programs that automatically generated valid CD-keys.

Key Club is a service organization, and is the oldest and largest high school service organization in the world. It is entirely student led, and has many levels of organization.
It is impossible to lump Key Club into a convenient stereotype, as its members are very diverse: there are clubs in America, Canada, Jamaica, and even Malaysia!
Like any club, there is a good chunk of members that are participating only for expediency, but that is why they rarely ever rise past the club level, as in accordance to the “Peter Principle.” And so with that in mind, Key Club should not be judged by members that do it solely for college-applications.
On the club level, Key Clubs help the community, be it through tutoring younger students, helping run bingo night at the senior center, or making houses for the homeless. On an large scale, Key Club International and many districts fundraise for other organizations, such as Grassroots Soccer United, a program devoted to combating AIDS in Africa, UNICEF, one of the most recognized children’s organization in the world, and the Children’s Miracle Network, a nonprofit that benefits hospitalized kids and purchases up-to-date equipment, trains staff, and conducts life-saving research.
All in all, Key Club is an organization that follows worthy causes, encourages involvement in the community, and promotes the declining values of caring and inclusiveness.

"Hey, are you going to go to the Key Club meeting today?"
"Heeeeeeell Yeah!"
"What about your girlfriend? I thought she wanted to hang out afterschool!"
"Oh, I broke up with her so I could have more time to do COMMUNITY SERVICE!!!"
