Current Ivy member Nawaf S. Al-Sabah said females are now completely integrated into Ivy, and male members do not regret the change.

"What was remarkable, at least for my club, was the ease of the transition," he said. "I have not met anyone who expresses any sort of remorse for having admitted women."

Al-Sabah, a senior, said women currently makeup about 50 percent of Ivy's membership.

But one Princeton sophomore who frequents TigerInn and other eating clubs said a masculineatmosphere and an element of "machismo" stillprevail at club events.

"The eating clubs foster an environment moreconducive to male bonding than to inter-genderrelations," he said.

Buck said she agreed that there are still "maleovertones" at Tiger Inn but that females areincluded in all club activities--even those thatare "traditionally" male, she said, such asbeer-drinking.

She said, however, that when she first joinedthe club, some male members longed for the group'ssingle-sex days.

"I think people were happy but I think theywere also nostalgic," she said, adding that she"understood completely" why Tiger Inn's memberslooked a bit longingly toward the past.

Colin Rowan, the current Tiger Inn president,said the transition has gone smoothly and thatwomen are full-fledged members.

"Overall, I don't think [eating clubs] fostermale bonding, nor do they cater to males," hesaid
