The function of the Hippol Castle has not changed over time. It has always been the place of meeting for the Order of Gimghoul. However, over time the castle has been upgraded and the amenities have changed as well. The Order of Gimghoul has had changes in its function throughout the years. At first the Order met in a log cabin near Rosemary Street in Chapel Hill. Their function was to be a fraternity that collectively shared etiquette in chivalry. Once Hippol Castle was built, the Order started to meet there. The founder, Wray Martin, wanted everyone to appreciate the art of knighthood. Today, the Order still exists and is the only secret society at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Members are juniors, seniors, faculty, and alumni of UNC that are from notable families.
