The St. Andrew's Society of North Carolina was formed in order to venerate our Scottish beginnings; perpetuate its values of culture and integrity that characterized our ancestors, promote a fellowship among Scottish kith and kin in North Carolina, extend assistance and counsel to unfortunates amongst our clans, encourage Scots everywhere to delve deeper into the colorful Scottish history and proud traditions, in our State as well as the rest of the world, which was the hallmark of the Apostle of Old from whom our name derives. Today the membership, by invitation, is limited to four hundred men of Scottish descent.
