Princeton Quadrangle ClubSince 1901

Membership

Quad is a club of adventurers, perspectives and genuine fun. We don't always agree, but we hold two strong beliefs: there is always room at a Quad table, and Quad is a club that feels like home. We do have a third, unspoken belief. It is that we’re always in the mood for a melody.

Key Quad notes

A few things every Drangler knows.

  • Sign-in club

    Quad has proudly been a sign-in club for over four decades. Second-semester sophomores can sign in without any form of bicker, and juniors, seniors and graduate students can join any time.

  • Dranglers

    What Quadrangle members call themselves.

  • Pub Night

    A fantastic dinner and great drinks, with plenty of non-alcoholic options.

  • STG

    Stuff That Glows, Quad's premier open party. The glow-in-the-dark bash is the first party of the fall and the last of the spring.

  • Lawn Party

    Concerts on the lawn. Past acts include Maroon 5, Rihanna, B.o.B and Big Sean.

  • Inclusivity

    Quad is dedicated to being an inclusive space for members and guests. The New York Times featured our work to better serve first-generation and lower-income members.
