Graduation Honor Cords
Honor cords carry meaning the audience reads instantly: this graduate did something extra. Ours are made from two full strands of spun rayon twisted evenly and finished with color-matched tassel tips at both ends, cut to a length that drapes flat over the gown and sits right in photos instead of riding up around the collar. Single-color cords, double-tied pairs and braided tri-color cords are all available, in any colors you assign.
Color discipline is what separates a real honor program from a drawer of random cords. We match each cord to the honor, department or society it represents — from a Pantone reference or an existing cord you mail us — and we hold the dye lot consistent year over year, so this spring’s National Honor Society gold is the same gold as the class before.
The logistics are built for the person running the ceremony. Cords arrive bundled and labeled by honor level or society, counted with overage if you want spares, and packed so distribution on the morning of graduation is a checklist rather than a scramble. Every cord coordinates with any tassel colorway from the rest of your order.
Honor cords suit honor societies, departmental distinctions, dual-language programs, service awards and any school that wants achievement visible from the back row.

Who this style suits
Honor societies
Consistent cord colors year over year keep the honor legible — alumni and underclassmen alike know exactly what the gold means.
Departments & academies
Assign each program its own cord color and the stage becomes a map of what every graduate accomplished.
Service & leadership awards
A braided tri-color cord marks the students who did the unglamorous work, visibly, without another medal to pin.
