On August 26, 1912, a committee was formed to consider a fraternity chapter.
The club continued to rise in prominence and membership until by the fall of 1912 there were 19 active Pirates. Until 1905 all the club members rotated the cooking responsibilities and paid a house bill of $15 a month.īy 1905 the baching days of the Pirate club were over, for they acquired not only a new clubhouse but also a cook. Merrill explains that the reason why no furniture was allowed in the parlor was that the room was used for boxing practice, and they didn't want to damage the furniture. No furniture was allowed in the parlor, No member was to cut a swell figure in society." Later information from Mr. To quote from Brother Merrill’s ancient history: "In the early days of the Pirate Club it was strictly a baching affair. Not too much is known of the early history except what was written by Frank Merrill in greatly abbreviated form.
As the constitution, written in 1905 states: "The object of the club shall be to maintain a clubhouse and to promote fellowship among members." It was felt that by rotating these jobs among friends they would lighten their individual tasks. The purpose of this club was quite logical: they wanted to rid themselves of some of the dreaded burdens of housekeeping and cooking during their college years.
The history of the Iota chapter begins in 1894 when a small group of close friends banded together to form a club known as the Pirate Club.
