Penn Club of Chicago

Frequently Asked Questions...

What does the Penn Club do?

The Penn Club of Chicago organizes social, cultural, athletic, and community service events and activities. We welcome all Penn alumni to join the club and take part in what we have to offer!

Why do we pay dues to become a club member?

The Penn Club of Chicago does not receive funds from the University. In order to keep the club up and running we ask that members pay (very low) yearly dues. Your dues help to pay for mailings and the cost of organizing our large number of events. Many events are free with membership, and club members receive discounts on events when advanced ticket purchase is required.
