Intercollegiate Knights (IK) was a collegiate men's honorary service group founded in 1922.[1] These chapters were oriented toward service to their campus.
History
The predecessor organization of Intercollegiate Knights was Knights of the Hook at University of Washington. Knights of the Hook was formed in 1919 to serve the university and promote its traditions. The name was chosen due to group perceiving similarities between their duties and those of "the knighthood of old".[1]
In 1922, the group was incorporated in the state of Washington, and Red and White were chosen as its colors. During the next two years, IK expanded to five other schools: University of Montana, Montana State, Washington State University, University of Idaho and University of Oregon. The first national convention was in 1924 at Washington State University. Over 20 chapters were chartered by the beginning of World War II mostly in the Northwestern United States however during the war, only a few chapters continued to operate. In 1959 there were 35 active chapters, but by 1978, there were only 16. By 1990, the organization splintered with the few remaining chapters each going their own way.[1]
Symbols
Colors: The original colors were red and white.[1] By 1947, those colors were Flame Red and Royal Blue.[2]
