About ECV.
Per caritate viduaribus orphanibusque, sed prime viduaribus.
E Clampus Vitus is both a historical and fraternal organization.
Although ancient in origin, it reached its peak during the
tumultuous days of The Great California Gold Rush.
A Member of E Clampus Vitus is commonly called a "Clamper."
The latter-day members of this organization attempt to uphold
the traditions of fellowship, good spirits, and fun.
Like their forbearers, the modern "Clampers" are dedicated
to the care and protection of the Widdow* and the Orphan.
* But especially the Widdow.
