 * Delete. Secret societies are inherently unverifiable.  howch e  ng   {chat} 00:04, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete as unverifiable. If an admin can check Secret Society of the Seven and see if it's the same, we may be able to speedy as a G4 repost. Stifle 11:58, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
 * It's close, but not identical. This new version claims it's one of three secret societies in North Carolina which is missing from the deleted versions.  howch e  ng   {chat} 22:44, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete A well researched article regarding the Mystical Seven Society in part, states: In 1884 the Virginia Mystics started two new temples, the Temple of the Sword and Shield at Davidson College, North Carolina and the Star of the South at the University of North Carolina. It is obvious that the name of the southern branch of the society had further evolved as the two new temples were commissioned as the Mystic Seven Fraternity and the Davidson Mystics took on the Greek name Alethia, meaning truth.  A google search for "Alethia, University, Davidson" yields no results either, except for the citation noted, yet according to this apparently well researched article, this branch of "7" does/did exist.  It is not unreasonable to assume that many secret organizations remain so purposefully, and have no written record, but are known colloquially.SuMadre 17:48, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Updated information: I located the university archives  for the Order of Gimghoul, which is referenced with the Society of the Seven in another Wiki article The League of Societies.  Though I have personally heard of such, it is only anectdotal evidence.  One would expect something as important as administration of a Trust would be referenced in the UNC Library exhibits.  It should be noted that there are agreements with the Gorgon's Head Lodge noted (per League of Societies entry), but no reference whatsoever is made in regard to the ECU Society of Seven.  Consequently, I have changed my vote from Keep to Delete.  In light of these findings, it might be prudent to consider removing The League of Societies entry, and amending the Order of Gimghoul article as well.  SuMadre 15:12, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
