Terrace Club
Princeton Terrace Club is one of the eleven current eating clubs at Princeton University in Princeton, New Jersey, United States. Terrace Club was founded in 1904 as the twelfth club at Princeton. It is located at 62 Washington Road, making it the only one of Princeton's current eating clubs that is not situated along Prospect Avenue.
==Membership and culture==
In 1967, Terrace became the first eating club to switch a nonselective lottery "sign-in" system to determine membership, as opposed to the selective bicker system.〔“Terrace, too.” ''Daily Princetonian'' Editorial, December 11, 1967〕 It was soon followed by Campus, Colonial, and Cloister, and today 5 of the 11 remaining operating clubs do not use the bicker system. 〔''The Daily Princetonian'', February 6, 2004, "Bicker process evolves as University grows" (article by Natasha Degen)〕 Terrace was one of the earliest clubs to accept Jewish, African-American, and female members, and today is considered on campus to be the most "alternative," politically liberal eating club. Often, members are stereotyped according to this reputation, but the actual membership is very diverse in terms of background, sense of style, and academic interests. Since 2000, Terrace has been a popular choice for sophomores, filling all of its membership slots either during first round sign-in〔''The Daily Princetonian'', February 5, 2001, "Terrace, Charter lead sign-ins" (article by Molly Bloom)〕〔''The Daily Princetonian'', February 6, 2006, "Colonial, Terrace fill in first round" (article by Brett Amelkin)〕〔''The Daily Princetonian'', February 4, 2008, "Charter, Terrace fill in first round" (article by Josh Oppenheimer)〕 or by the end of the second round.
Terrace's motto has been "Food=Love" since the mid-eighties. The food is served cafeteria-style and is famous for being more "vegetarian friendly" than other clubs. Members of Terrace often refer to the club as "Terrace F. Club" or "TFC". Other nicknames include "the mother," "mother Terrace," or "the womb," and members often refer to themselves as "Terrans".
Weekend events at Terrace often include concerts of indie-scene bands from a variety of genres, including rock, hip-hop, salsa, jazz, and electronica. Many notable artists and groups, including Stanley Jordan, Flipper (band), Phil Lesh, Yo La Tengo, GWAR, Blues Traveler (Summer '87), ESG (band), Bim Skala Bim, Elliott Smith, Run DMC, Modest Mouse, The Flaming Lips, Vampire Weekend, Frightened Rabbit, Girl Talk, GZA, Immortal Technique, Stereolab, Snarky Puppy and Tortoise have played at Terrace, some before they were nationally well-known. Terrace also hosts the Queer Radicals' annual Drag Ball in October or November.
