Wolf's Head Society is a senior society at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, United States. The society is one of the reputed "Big Three" societies at Yale, along with Skull and Bones and Scroll and Key. Membership recomposes annually with sixteen Yale University students, typically rising seniors. The delegation spends its year together answerable to an alumni association. Though Yale now counts upwards of 40 societies or similarly organized social clubs active on campus, Wolf's Head is considered a desirable and relevant one among current undergraduates.
Wolf's Head has graduated many notable alumni, including prominent politicians, businessmen, academics, athletes, as well two Yale University presidents.
