The Phoenix – S K Club

The society traces its earliest roots to 1895, forming from the amalgamation and reorganization of the Sphinx, Kalumet, and Phoenix Clubs.

[3] The Alpha Iota chapter of Theta Nu Epsilon at Harvard College was chartered in 1895.

Originally known by several names, in 1900, almost all the members of this organization joined together to form the Sphinx Club, located at 1172 Massachusetts Avenue, then 55 Mt.

The Kalumet Club was started by members of the Harvard chapter of Beta Theta Pi,[4] Many in the class of 1900, occupied a small house on the current Harvard Lampoon building site on Mt.

In 1925, negotiations for the amalgamation of the Phoenix and the S K were started, and in January 1925, undergraduate bodies of both clubs voted their approval.

[6][7] The club has been a hotspot for celebrities and Boston's local sports team members to participate in Harvard's nightlife.

[8] In April 2011, American musician and DJ Steve Aoki performed at the club.

[9] In February 2015, the club came back under the spotlight when pictures of New England Patriots players Julian Edelman, Danny Amendola, and several other teammates purportedly partying at the Phoenix - S K Club house following their Super Bowl XLIX victory surfaced on social media.
