NRHH Symbolism
Official Colors: Blue & White
The blue symbolizes loyalty: loyalty to purpose and idea. The white signifies a blank page: a page on which a student writes the successes and experiences that fill their days in the residence halls and on campus.
Emblem: NRHH Diamond
The symbol for NRHH is that of a diamond surrounding the letters of the organization, and the three interconnected links, the chain of leadership. The diamond, the world's most precious gem, signifies the value and beauty one finds in the residence halls and on campus experience.

National Residence Hall Honorary (NRHH)
The National Residence Hall Honorary (NRHH) is the recognition branch of National Association of College and University Residence Halls. NACURH, as an organization, truly believes that recognition is a must in a strong Residence Hall community. As such, NRHH is there to make sure that we don't forget to give those needed and more than deserved pats on the back.
The History of NRHH
In 1964, the National Association of College and University Residence Halls, Inc. (NACURH) found itself with financial difficulties. Jim Tschechtelin, NACURH Chair, began investigating possibilities for potential revenue sources and grants. Grants were found, but there were two requirements: a central NACURH office had to be established, and the member schools needed more service rendered. Thus, the National Honorary was put forth as an answer to the second requirement.
During the preliminary organization, the National Honorary (NH) focused on the incorporation of old into new. Campuses with existing honorary organizations were contacted and coordinated into the NH structure. The preservation of a chapter's identity was primary, as it was incorporated into the NH structure, and as each campus is aware of its own individual needs. The primary focus of each chapter became the recognition of the Residence Hall Leaders on its campus. This helped sustain a consistent membership in on campus organizations as well as on the regional and national levels within NACURH.
The years between 1977 to 1987 were the years of growth for the National Honorary. Pins and certificates were produced to recognize the members of the honorary, the tradition of regional and national receptions during the conferences began, and formal recruitment and affiliation packets were produced. Regional Recruiter (now Associate Directors) positions on regional boards were also established. Many awards were established including the Of The Months, Outstanding Chapter of the Year, Building Block Chapter of the Year, and Member of the Year.
Today, over 210 chapters are affiliated with the National Residence Hall Honorary National Office. Activities of the chapters vary from campus to campus. Some simply induct new members at an annual recognition banquet, and thus are only an honorary chapter. Others are extremely active on their campuses and in their communities.
