National Residence Hall Honorary Chapter
The National Residence Hall Honorary (NRHH) Mark Hudson Chapter was founded at the University of North Dakota in 1982.
NRHH is an organization dedicated to residence hall student recognition and service. NRHH values recognition for individuals and organizations who contribute to the advancement of UND Housing. The organization also strives to create an inclusive community that focuses on programming, community service, and leadership development while supporting the vision and mission of the National Association of Colleges and University Residence Halls (NACURH) and Midwest Affiliate of Colleges and University Residence Halls (MACURH).
NRHH makes up only one percent of selected residence hall students that value recognition and service. The following are ways to get involved with NRHH: Attend a NRHH sponsored event, write an "Of The Month" to recognize students and staff dedicated and committed to residence hall living, or volunteer for a NRHH service project.

Our Symbols
The Diamond
The diamond surrounding the letters of the organization and the three interconnected links, the chain of leadership, form the logo of the honorary. The diamond, the world's most precious gem, signified the value and beauty one finds in the residence halls experience.
The Link
The first link of the chain represents caring. leaders are people who care. They are concerned about themselves and others, and are committed to making things better. The second link signifies dedication. Part of a leader's commitment is the dedication to a cause, which they display. Dedication is an important part of the involvement required to be truly effective. The third link represents participation. True leaders participate fully in their academic pursuits, their friendships, their activities, and their lives. Leaders don't sit on the sidelines, but are competent team players. Together the unbroken chain symbolized the membership of NRHH. As leaders we are interconnected as caring and dedicated participants in the community of your university.
Colors
The colors of the honorary are blue and white. The blue symbolizes loyalty: loyalty to purpose and idea. The white signifies a blank page: a page on which a student writes the successes and experiences that fill their days in the residence halls.
