The Trident Society, also known as TS, is an American collegiate secret society at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina.[1][2] The Trident Society is often considered the most secretive and prestigious of the societies at Duke University,[3] and inherited the mission of The Order of the Red Friars and The Order of the White Duchy. The Society seeks to promote dedication and loyalty to Duke University while promoting the goals of the university, and to reward students for merit and achievement.
