text: Student organizations Students participate in various service, pre-professional, religious, social, and other student organizations. Student publications at the college started with a literary magazine first published in 1889. The student newspaper, the Old Gold and Black, is published every other week; the yearbook is called The Bohemian. Delta Phi Alpha, the national collegiate German honorary society, was founded at Wofford, as was the National Beta Club, an honorary society prominent in American high schools.
  In 1941, the college was awarded a chapter of academic honor society Phi Beta Kappa. This was the first chapter at a private college in South Carolina.
