Z Society

The Z Society is a philanthropic organization that was founded at the University of Virginia in 1892, making it the oldest secret society on the university's campus. Its members give time, talent, and financial contributions to groups and individuals that exemplify the spirit of the society and uphold the ideals of the university. Additionally, the Z Society encourages and recognizes excellence through a number of honorary dinners and academic awards.
The organization's membership chooses to remain anonymous because of the belief that service, when provided anonymously, provides a unique philanthropic opportunity. After graduation members may opt to wear Z Society rings.

Other secret societies at the University include the Seven Society and the IMP Society.
