Institution: University of Virginia
Founded: 1905 (rumored)
Notable members: John Lloyd Newcomb, Joseph W. Twinam, Edward Stettinius Jr.
Interesting facts: The Seven Society was formed when eight students agreed to meet for a card game and only seven showed up. This society is so secretive that members are only revealed after they have passed away, via a wreath of black magnolias in the shape of a seven placed upon the grave of the deceased. In addition, the university chapel bell reportedly tolls in a dissonant seventh chord, seven times, in seven-second increments, on the seventh of the hour. Should you wish to contact the Seven Society, the only way to do so is to place a note at the base of the Thomas Jefferson statue in the University Rotunda.
Infamous incidents: In 1947, the commencement address was interrupted when a small explosion occurred in front of the stage. After the smoke cleared, a check for $177,777.77 was found floating to the ground. This money was used to create an interest-free loan for any student or faculty member in financial trouble.
