Founder Nathan Elequin expresses a general sentiment surrounding the charter of The Whatever, including the constitution with the Solemn Columns.
The Five Solemn Columns summarize The Whatever's Mission Statement as outlined in its Chartered Constitution. Although originally referred to as "the secret ingredients" and later "the five pillars," members opted for an unorthodox title to match the organization's tone.
