Wolf's Head Society is a senior secret society at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut. The society is one of the reputed "Big Three" societies at Yale, along with Skull and Bones and Scroll and Key.[1] Active undergraduate membership is elected annually with sixteen Yale University students, typically rising seniors. Honorary members are elected.

The current delegation spends its year together answerable to an alumni association.[2][3][4] Some past members have gained prominence in athletics, business, the fine and literary arts, higher education, journalism, and politics.
