“E Clampus Vitus” is a fraternal organization described as a “historical drinking society.” It is also known by the acronym ECV. The organization has a whimsical and humorous approach to history, often blending historical references with a sense of camaraderie and celebration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

E Clampus Vitus was founded in the mid-19th century during the California Gold Rush era. The exact origins of the organization are a bit mysterious, and there is a mix of facts and legends associated with its founding. It claims to be a revival of an even older organization that supposedly dates back to ancient times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The members of E Clampus Vitus are known as “Clampers,” the organization has chapters, referred to as “Clampatries,” throughout the western United States. They often engage in historical reenactments, celebrate historical events, and promote a love for history while having a good time. The group’s activities include erecting historical plaques and markers, often in a humorous and irreverent style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s important to note that E Clampus Vitus is not a serious academic or historical organization but rather a social club that appreciates history in a light-hearted and unconventional way. The group’s motto is “Credo Quia Absurdum<\/em><\/strong>,” which roughly translates to “I believe it because it is absurd<\/em><\/strong>.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
