Queens' Guard

The Queens' Guard (QG) is co-educational military fraternity that recruits primarily but not exclusively from the ROTC department at the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia.

During this wave of high morale within the ROTC program, college president Davis Young Paschall approved the establishment of the Queens' Guard on February 8, 1961, during his inauguration.

[4] Following a hazing citation in fall 2019 by the college's Community Values & Restorative Practices organization, the Queens' Guard was suspended until at least spring 2022.

While originally associated with the Pershing Rifles and given the special unit designator Company W-4, the Queens' Guard has since officially separated into an independent organization.

The fraternity serves as the official color guard and honor guard for the college and represents them at official functions including football games, the Christmas Parade, the Sunset Ceremony, the Homecoming parade, and receives members of the British royal family should they return to visit the College of William and Mary.
