Wren Society

The Wren Society is a student secret society at William & Mary. Founded in 1832 to honor the 200th Anniversary of the birthday of Sir Christopher Wren, students are "tapped" into the society based on their dedication to commitment to service, academics, and their demonstration of exception leadership in the College community.
