Nestled in the heart of the South, between the rolling foothills of the Appalachians and the Atlantic’s steadfast shores, The James Oglethorpe Society stands as a torchbearer for Georgia’s enduring spirit. We are committed to fostering a fellowship of leaders, thinkers, and advocates who seek to strengthen our communities, sharpen their skills, and preserve the traditions passed down by our forefathers.

We cherish our great state’s venerable history, from General James Oglethorpe’s founding of the Georgia colony in 1733 to the generations of pioneers, statesmen, and builders who shaped its destiny. Our land—marked by the resilience of the Wiregrass, the fertile soils of the Piedmont, and the bustling streets of Atlanta—tells the story of a people committed to faith, freedom, and enterprise. From the town squares of our historic cities to the fields where industry and agriculture thrive, we honor Georgia’s legacy.

We take pride in our state’s traditions—its religious devotion, agrarian strength, intellectual rigor, and political independence—which have set a standard for leadership in the South. Inspired by Oglethorpe’s vision of justice, duty, and perseverance, we look to the future with unwavering resolve. Like the great oak standing tall in the face of time, Georgia remains steadfast.

As we strive to uphold the values of our forebears—building, defending, and guiding with the same tireless dedication that shaped our state—we remember that our work is not for ourselves alone, but for the generations to come. Sic vos non vobis—thus we labor, but not for ourselves alone.
