Cannon’s 128th Birthday

On April 3rd, 2023, the club gathered to celebrate Cannon’s 128th Birthday. Our treasurer, Britt Masback, shared thoughtful remarks about the club and led us in a toast. The celebration ended with proper “fun of the gun” as some members got to break open a Cannon Piñata!

Weddings 💍

This club loves a reason to celebrate! In the last month, we threw a hoedown themed wedding and “married” two sophomores. We also hosted a Cannon – Cottage wedding where a Cannon member “married” a Cottage member. These events are club favorites and help to build camaraderie within the club and across Prospect Ave.

Highlights from our Cannon wedding!

Good Vibes around the Club

We all know a Princeton spring is idyllic. Gunners have been taking advantage of all the club has to offer by playing rock band and pool. All the beautiful weather has allowed members to bask in the sunshine on our back patio, play cornhole on the lawn, and enjoy outdoor meals with barbecue staples and snow cones put together by Bill and his staff ☀️

Junior Officer Program

This spring, the officers are piloting a “junior officer” program. Passionate members, who are not officers but would like to be more involved in the club, have received these roles. This program offers junior members insight into the role of an officer, helps them develop the capacity to lead among their peers, and contribute to Cannon being the best club on the street. The junior officers support the officer corps with set up of social events, overseeing the club food committee, and creating playlists for nights out!
