The story of Gimghoul Castle and its secret society


In 1889, a small group of UNC students decided a secret club was in order. The new secret society eventually decided on a well-intended Arthurian mission based upon chivalry. There was a legend circulating about a young college student named Dromgoole, who in 1833, fought to his death in a duel over the hand of a local girl with whom his dueling opponent was also in love.
