The Druid Club

Fall 1926 - 1928: 2140 Gordon Street

The Druid Club was founded at Muhlenberg as a local frat/social club in the spring of 1924. The Club purchased its 2140 Gordon Street house at the beginning of the 1926-27 school year in an effort to expand their capacity for holding social events. Up until this point, the club held its meetings in the members’ dorm rooms and the history room of the Administration Building (present-day Ettinger).

Eight men moved into the house at the time of the purchase, but it had room to board 15 comfortably. According to The Muhlenberg Weekly, the house was “one of the fine new spacious homes of the Cassone development, just east of the campus and its location makes it especially convenient for the members of the organization.” The Druid Club merged with Theta Upsilon Omega in March of 1928.
