The organization chiefly operates in secret and newly elected members are not publicly revealed until commencement. Among the group's notable activities are the Goodrich C. White Lecture Series, named for former Emory President and D.V.S. member, as well as the D.V.S. Award, given to individuals who have had the greatest positive impact on students in a given year.
