Seal and Serpent
The Seal & Serpent Society is an independent social fraternity located at Cornell University. Founded in 1905, the Society is one of the oldest local fraternities in the United States. The Tudor mansion at 305 Thurston Avenue has housed the active chapter since 1929.
Seal and Serpent is a social fraternity rather than a secret society or final club. At the time of its founding, many house clubs and societies in the Ivy League had similar names, such as the extant Skull and Bones, Casque and Gauntlet, and Quill and Dagger. The Great Depression took a considerable toll on the membership and financial solvency of extracurricular collegiate organizations, and many were forced to disband. As the Greek system expanded and incorporated many other societies, Seal and Serpent maintained its independence. It is a member of Cornell's Interfraternity Council (IFC) which oversees the university's entire fraternity system.
==History==
Seal and Serpent Society has its origins in the coalescence of two Cornell undergraduate groups; the "Crooks' Club" and the "Senators." The ten original members began to meet in the fall of 1905 with the intent of preserving the traditions of Cornell student life. They called themselves the Society of the Seal and Serpent, and made plans to take a house together in the fall and elect their first officers. " Alvin Ward "Gub" King '07 was elected president as a sort of coalition man not involved too much with either of the two original groups.
