Order of the Cupola

|
The "Order of the Cupola" is a philanthropic society eastablished in 1998 at East Carolina University in Greenville, NC. The society's primary goal is to "enhance and promote the institution of East Carolina University through charitable efforts and monetary endowment." The society was chartered in 1998 by a number of wealthy alumni and contributors of East Carolina University. Though membership in the Order is not secret, its internal activities are kept confidential and its meetings are closed to the general public. The Order of the Cupola is governed by a Council of Regents who oversee the various functions, activities, and contributions of the Order. A membership committee of unknown persons occasionally invites families or wealthy contributors to become members of the Order. Membership is by invitation only and according to tradition anyone who asks to be in the society is immediately precluded from membership. The Order of the Cupola along with the Society of the Seven have been considered East Carolina University's most prestigious alumni organizations. Each year the Order of the Cupola holds a black tie "Scholarship Ball," which helps provide scholarships for East Carolina University's Endowment Fund. The current President of the Order is Mr. Henry G. Williamson, Jr.
