The Ne Ultra Society was created in 1972 by the college's Board of Trustees to honor those who make exceptional gifts to Davidson, forming the cornerstone of philanthropy upon which the excellence of the Davidson educational experience depends.

The name, Ne Ultra, taken from the college seal, translates from Latin as "none higher." By their example, Ne Ultra Society members encourage others in generous giving to the college.

The Society consists of four circles:
Summa Cum Laude -- Gifts of $15,000 and more
Magna Cum Laude -- Gifts between $10,000 and $14,999
Cum Laude -- Gifts between $5,000 and $9,999
Ne Ultra -- Gifts between $2,000 and $4,999

Young Alumni gifts are also recognized as Ne Ultra Society gifts:
Classes of 1999 - 2003 -- Gifts of $1,000 and above
Classes of 2004 - 2009 -- Gifts of $750 and above
