Dining clubs

Can anyone give me any info about the various dining clubs at Yale? The only one that I can find info about so far is the Elizabethan Club. It says that there is also the Corsair Club, the Kittens Club, the Zodiac Club, and the Round Table but none have their own website or wikipedia pages. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

The Lizzie is a genteel club for Anglophiles; it's great for having tea with retired English professors. (It's great for having tea with anyone.) It has a significant collection of Shakespeariana. It's not hard to join if you want to, although it's not quite an open-door policy; you have to be sponsored and accepted.

The other clubs you mention probably haven't existed in over 100 years.

Yale doesn't have "dining clubs" like Princeton's eating clubs. The various senior societies serve their members one or two dinners a week as part of their regular meetings (or, most often, the members serve each other dinner). Mory's was a restaurant organized as a club that Yale students could join cheaply. It was an OK place to take relatives, hold meetings, or to listen to the Wiffenpoofs sing while sharing outrageous "cups" of punch. But I gather it has closed.

^Ah, okay. Thanks for the info! The Lizzie sure sounds fun though; I'm definitely an Anglophile.

The Fence Club existed through most of the 20thC.

Did the Fence Club close? Does St. Anthony Hall still exist? (Anyway, Fence and St. Anthony were like Yale equivalents of Hasty Pudding at Harvard, but a little less so. Essentially, loose, nonresidential fraternities.)

The Fence closed for years and, I think, has been resurrected for several years. St. A's still exists.
