This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Key and Grey Society (Cornell University)

The Key and Grey Society is a private organization based in Ithaca, with historical roots rumored to date back over a century. Known for its discreet presence, the society quietly honors students for their leadership, academic achievement, and service to the Cornell community. While details of the society's activities and membership remain largely undocumented, Key and Grey is acknowledged as one of Cornell's secret notable traditions that operates behind the scenes.

Membership and Selection Membership in Key and Grey is believed to span diverse backgrounds and academic disciplines, with individuals selected based on merit, dedication, and character qualities. However, little is known about the specific criteria or the exact selection process. It’s generally understood that members are invited to join during their penultimate year, maintaining ties with the society well beyond graduation.

Legacy and Cultural Impact As one of Cornell’s longstanding traditions, Key and Grey remains a subject of curiosity among students and alumni alike. Known for quietly selecting some of Cornell's most distinguished students, the society’s influence endures through discretion and subtle contributions to campus life. Recognized as a group that upholds values of service, wisdom, and connection, Key and Grey represents a storied yet rarely visible facet of Cornell’s cultural heritage.
