Clariosophic Society

Two blood brothers picked the members for the new groups in a manner similar to choosing sides for an impromptu baseball game.

Other early presidents include Stephen Elliott, Hugh S. Legaré.

The key was shaped like a rhombus or lozenge except that the sides did not meet at the top and bottom, but were blunted off.

The front had two overlapping hearts at the top with the Greek letters, Mu Sigma Phi (ΜΣΦ) in the center and the initials C.S., for Clariosophic Society, at the bottom.

The reverse side had the two hearts at the top and two Greek words beginning with the letters, Delta and Phi (ΔΦ) in the center and the initials S.C.C, for South Carolina College, at the bottom.
