* At the close of Thursday and Sunday sessions, members are known to sing the "[[Troubadour]]" song on the front steps of the Society's hall, a remnant of the tradition of public singing at Yale.<ref>''Collision at Home Plate: The Lives of Pete Rose and Bart Giamatti''.

* In keeping with the practice of adopting secret letters or symbols such as [[Skull and Bones]]' "322," [[Manuscript Society|Manuscript]]'s "344," and [[the Pundits]]' "T.B.I.Y.T.B," Scroll and Key is known to use the letters "C.S.P. and C.C.J.".<ref name="Yale.
