The Society of Saint Thomas Aquinas is a senior society at Yale University. The society is dedicated to tolerance, compassion, and egalitarianism.[1] In the words of St. Thomas Aquinas, "There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship." Though not having any religious affiliation, the members of the society stand by the values and teachings of their namesake.
Nicknames for the senior society include Aquinas, St. Thomas, St. Tommy's, and, most commonly used, STAQ (pronounced "stack").[2] The attributes of St. Thomas Aquinas are the Sun and the Dove.
