Eating clubs (Princeton University)

The majority of upperclassmen at Princeton University take their meals in one of eleven eating clubs, which are an amalgamation of dining halls and Greek-letter fraternities.

As of Summer 2003, Princeton undergraduates had their choice of eleven eating clubs. Six clubs, namely University Cottage Club, Cap and Gown Club, The Ivy Club, Tiger Inn, Princeton Tower Club, and most recently, Campus Club are selective, and choose their members through a process called "bicker".

Five clubs, namely Cloister Inn, Princeton Charter Club, Colonial Club, Quadrangle Club, and Terrace F. Club, are non-selective. Their members are chosen through a lottery.

All of the clubs have been coeducational since 1991, which is the consequence of a lawsuit filed by Sally Frank against Ivy, Cottage, and Tiger Inn in 1979.
