History
Like other societies at Yale, Sage and Chalice meets as a group on Thursdays and Sundays. One of the central aspects of meetings is the "bio," in which each member spends one evening recounting his or her life history, personal development, and aspirations to the group.
The society throws a popular, annual spring fundraising party in New York City open to members of the society and their invited guests.
Notable members
Barbara Bush, the daughter of U.S. President George W. Bush, joined the society after getting snubbed by Skull and Bones, allegedly because "she was known less for achievement than for partying."{{Cite news |last=Tierney |first=John |date=2004-05-23 |title=Political Points |language=en-US |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2004/05/23/us/political-points.html |access-date=2023-07-04 |issn=0362-4331}} Other notable alumni include professional hockey player Rob O'Gara and Olympic gold medalist Sarah Hughes.
