The All-Club Dinner or Banquet was an annual event in which members of Ward-Belmont's ten student social clubs came together to share a meal at the end of the school year.
Ward-Belmont offered ten student social clubs, similar to sororities: the Twentieth Century Club (T.C.C.), X.L., A.K. (All 'Round), Osiron, Agora, Anti-Pandora, F.F., Penta Tau, Del Vers, and Tri K. Per a Ward-Belmont club pamphlet (2023.107), "the club system was introduced here because it was felt that national sororities had no place in a school such as Ward-Belmont. It was, therefore, to supplant the sorority plan with something that offered its advantages without the obvious disadvantages, that the club system was started." Like sororities, there was a week of rushing at the beginning of the school year, and new club members participated in an initiation.Collection
