The Order of Ammon is a secret society of around fifteen Emory University students who are chosen due to their merit, character, imagination, and persistent commitment to better Emory University and the world-at-large. Members are typically heavily involved with many organizations on Emory’s campus and have excelled in academics, athletics, leadership, and service. The Order of Ammon is one of four secret societies at Emory University, others of which include Paladin Society, D.V.S. Senior Honor Society, and Ducemus. The members of The Order of Ammon are never revealed, a nod to notable Emory University alum Robert W. Woodruff, who said "There is no limit to what a man can do or where he can go if he doesn't mind who gets the credit." This is unlike the Paladin Society and D.V.S. Senior Honor Society, which reveal their members during graduation. The Order of Ammon, in its current existence, was officially recognized by Emory University in 2005. The organization existed previously but left campus for a period. The Order of Ammon continues to grow and seeks to become the most legitimate and dedicated secret society at Emory.
