  • 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 private social club 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.
