The Crimson Key Society is an organization at Harvard University devoted to serving the University.^[1] Founded on April 14, 1948, CKS was originally formed to welcome visiting athletic teams to Harvard and represented Harvard's first organized commitment to hospitality.^[2] Crimson Key later went on to provide campus tours to prospective students and visitors, welcome incoming students during Freshman Week, and toured the country to recruit applicants.^[3] CKS has played a major role in expanding Harvard's global image, helping to gain world renown for the university as both an academic institution and as a brand.^[4] Benazir Bhutto, Radcliffe Class of 1973, was perhaps the best-known member of the Society.^[5] Today, CKS continues to provide tours to visitors to the university and welcomes new freshmen with a week of activities, including most famously a Rocky Horror Picture Show-style screening of Love Story that has attracted both praise and criticism from the media.^[6]
