Terrace Club

Encyclopedia : T : TE : TER : Terrace Club

Terrace Club is one of the ten current eating clubs at Princeton University. Terrace 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 on Prospect Avenue. Terrace is one of the five clubs to use a nonselective lottery "sign-in" system to determine membership, as opposed to the selective bicker system of the other five clubs. From 2002 to 2006, Terrace was a popular choice for sophomores, filling all of its membership slots either during first round sign-in or by the end of the second round.

Terrace is often referred to, predominantly by its members, as TFC. The value of the F in the acronym is debatable, but some interpretations are "Terrace Fucking Club," "Terrace Flaming Club," "Terrace Food Club," "Terrace Fight Club," and "Terrace Feminist Club". Terrace was the first of the clubs to accept Jewish, African American, and female members, and today is considered on campus to be the most "alternative," politically liberal eating club.
