About the Club
The Ivy Social Club (formally the Ivy Singles Social Club) is a coalition of Ivy League, Seven Sister, and other prestigious schools' regional alumni associations that sponsors social activities. Events are open to alumni of member schools and their guests. Most attendees are in their 30s, 40s or 50s. All ages are welcome.
Alumni clubs from Princeton, Yale, Harvard, MIT, Columbia, Dartmouth, Cornell, Brown, University of Pennsylvania, Wellesley, Stanford, Smith, Johns Hopkins, Northwestern, and Vassar are all currently involved. The club has a Board of Directors comprised of representatives from most of the alumni clubs involved. If you would like to help organize an event or recommend an event, contact Bruce McBarnette '80.
