It’s that time of year again – the Gunners are back! The club is full of gunny spirit. Our servery is packed every meal with members excited to be back in the club, spending time with one another, and enjoying the BEST food on the street.
During fall street week, we welcomed 20 new members to the club – 6 seniors and 14 juniors. This cohort of students includes members of the Women’s Rugby team and Men’s Squash team. We now have members from 27 of the 38 varsity athletic teams.
A Warm Welcome
Each class of members receive a tie or necklace to signify their membership. This year, we began a new tradition. After dinner one evening, our President, Josh, shared some words about the history of Cannon Dial Elm to familiarize the new members with the essence of being a Cannon member. Following the speech, senior members gave an item to a new member and offered them a word of wisdom about their Cannon experience. We introduced this activity to strengthen the bonds across classes in the club.
This week, members will don their necklace or tie for the traditional Cannon Faceboard photos.
Servant Leaders
Off the field and outside of the classroom, Cannon is home to many individuals that are passionate about serving the Princeton community.

Rave Night
Our annual Rave Night has become a highly sought-after party in the fall. The social chairs go above and beyond to create a fun, vibrant atmosphere. This year, we had bubble machines and black lights that created a rave-like vibe in the backyard. Plus, an incredible club caliber DJ headlined the night. It was definitely a night to remember!
