An American Cap and Gown company. Honor cords Made in the USA
An Honor Cord is a token consisting of twisted cords with tassels on either end awarded to members of honor societies or for various academic and non-academic achievements, awards, or honors. Usually, cords come in pairs with a knot in the middle to hold them together. Sometimes sashes, stoles, or medallions are given in place of cords. They are most often worn at academic ceremonies and functions. With cap and gown, and (sometimes) the hood, high school or university degree candidates have worn these cords at the discretion of the educational institution. Still, they are not usually worn with academic regalia after the academic year in which the honor was awarded. Unlike hoods and stoles, by tradition, more than one cord may be worn at the same time.
Honor Cords are worn during the commencement ceremony. After the ceremony, the graduate presents the Honor Cords to someone who provided extraordinary help or support, i.e., parents, relatives, or mentors. Immediately after graduation, the graduate may take the honor cords from around his/her neck and place them around the recipient's neck. More than one honor cord may be worn during the commencement, symbolizing multiple persons destined to receive honor cords.
