TRADITIONS: Friars Club
The iconic white jackets of the Friars Club are familiar to all PC visitors, but few know that the organization began in 1928 with 18 members whose job was to serve as hosts to visiting athletic teams. The Friars Club, shown here in 1988, has been the College’s premier service organization ever since. Its 74 members lead campus tours; work at such events as commencement, Alumni & Family Weekend, performances at the Smith Center for the Arts, and hockey games; provide an honor guard at funerals; and perform service around Providence.
