The Sachems are a Senior Society. They appear to be incorporated as a not-for-profit society under the laws of the Province of Nova Scotia. The Sachems were founded in 1913, when they split from the Nacoms. You could say they are the runaway bride to the Nacoms' groom. This year's class of Sachems are equally as dope as the 2015 Nacoms. Their initiates swim relay races in the Hudson, go paragliding off of the EC bridge, and get matching "I<3COLUMBIA" tattoos. They also get snazzy jewelry for that pretentious pinky finger.

In spring of 2014, IvyGate posted a list of fourteen 2014 Sachems[1][2].
