Eating clubs
The 11 eating clubs on Prospect Avenue are institutions unique to Princeton University. They are private organizations, independently owned and operated. The members of eating clubs are second-semester sophomores, juniors and seniors at Princeton.
While classes are in session, the clubs offer breakfast, lunch and dinner. Each club determines its own membership, five of them by lottery called sign-in and six by way of bicker, a selective membership process. Terrace, Colonial, Charter, Cloister and Quad are sign-in clubs, while Tower, Cap and Gown, Tiger Inn, Cottage and Ivy are selective. The costs and rules for membership vary a great deal from club to club.
