Colonial, Terrace fill in first round

Correction appended

Both Colonial and Terrace clubs have filled after first round sign-in. With 100 new members this year, according to an email sent to members, this is the fourth year in a row that Colonial has filled in the first round. Terrace filled for the second consecutive year, with 104 new members.

The Interclub Council (ICC) refused for the fourth consecutive year to release specific numbers for sign-in clubs and ICC president Jamal Motlagh '06 declined to say how many students in total opted this year to sign in to clubs.

"We are very pleased with our sign-in class," Colonial president Marco Fossati-Bellani '07 said in an email to The Daily Princetonian. "We look forward to a rewarding and fun year."

Motlagh said that Colonial's waitlist also filled in the first round.

"First round keeps on getting more successful," Terrace president Patti Chao '07 said in an interview, noting that sign-ins for Terrace are up 11 this year from 93 last year. "Mostly everyone was taken this year. It's been great."

Chao said the waitlist for Terrace is not yet filled, with only 20 people placed on it in the first round.

Quadrangle Club accepted "about 70" new members in the first round with room left for members in second round sign-ins, club president Cody Sonntag '07 said in an email.

Cloister Inn gained 40 new members, while figures for Charter Club were unavailable. The two clubs' presidents either did not reply to requests seeking comment or declined comment.

Motlagh said that Charter and Cloister do have room for members in the second round of sign-in.

"Overall, the number of people joining clubs is still really high," Motlagh said in an interview. With the closing of Campus Club earlier this year, Motlagh said, "sign-in clubs are warier, but overall, there were just as many people who signed in this year as last year."

Last year, more than 450 students signed into the six sign-in clubs, including Campus.
