The Senior Skull Honor Society is a collegiate honor society of the University of Maine. The Senior Skull Honor Society has a 100-year history. Founded on December 14, 1906 by 11 men of various fraternities. The purpose was "to recognize dedicated service to the University of Maine, to promote campus spirit, to keep an eye on the fraternities, and to discipline freshmen". In 1913, the president of the organization created a viable interfraternity council, and the society has existed without interruption since World War II when it ceased to exist for only 3 years. The society promotes the values of friendship, obligation, academics, dignity, and the standards and traditions of the University of Maine.

Mothers carry out most of the work orders, but most of the rules governing our lives are shaped by outside influences.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
