Honor Cord
Wearing of an honor cord is reserved for those who have graduated with honors from education institutions. This includes those who are graduating with various honors such as summa or magna cuum laude. The cords make excellent gifts to those who are being honored. The cord is also worn by those taking part in the graduation ceremony as members of honor societies, sororities as well as fraternities. To make the cord, several single cords of the same size and color are intertwined together.
Besides being awarded at universities and colleges, some high schools give out the cords to students who are graduating with GPA scores of 3.5 and over. The honor cord
is available in different colors, depending on the colors chosen by the institution or the honor society. The cord is worn around the neck and one can chose to wear either a single cord or double cords. The double cords are joined together using a knot.
Persons can order the honor cord when it is already made or they can request for custom-made cords especially if their preferred color is not easily available. One can also have the single cord made of more than one color. The cords are easy to obtain from online shops.
