About NRHH
The National Residence Hall Honorary (NRHH) is "the premiere honorary supported by the leading international organization advocating for the interests and welfare of residence hall students, while also providing opportunities for their personal growth and development." NRHH is a branch of the National Association of College and University Residence Halls (NACURH), Inc. which is one of the largest student-led organizations in North America. Both organizations are student-led and are dedicated to providing community building experiences, empowering students all across the world, and developing leaders for the future.
At the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, we have the Scarlet & Cream Chapter of NRHH which was founded in 1989. Ever since its creation, the chapter has continued to grow and find new ways to better the lives of not just the residents on campus, but also the UNL campus and the surrounding Lincoln community. For example, the chapter works annually with the St. Baldrick's Foundation to raise awareness and money for childhood cancer research and has volunteered throughout Lincoln at the Sunken Gardens, Center for People in Need, and People's City Mission.
Just as other chapters across the nation do, the Scarlet & Cream Chapter of NRHH is based on two essential values that serve as a foundation and guide for the organization.
Service
Service is an excellent way for the members of NRHH to give back to the community that helped shape them into the leaders they have become. The best part about the service projects the Scarlet & Cream Chapter of NRHH does is that they not only impact the residence halls, but UNL, Lincoln, and nation.
Recognition
Recognition is the fuel to the fire of leadership. When others find that their hard work has been noticed by someone, they are encouraged to keep up the good work and push themselves. They take on bigger tasks and work more passionately on their projects. Eventually, because they were recognized as doing an excellent job, they will become outstanding student leaders.
