German Club

The German Club is the oldest non-greek fraternal organization at Virginia Tech. It was founded in 1892 to provide a social outlet for the student body, and has transformed over the years to provide the University with an organization dedicated to Leadership, Service, and Fellowship.

The Ritual Alumni

What is the German Club?

The name was derived from the German Waltz, a popular dance when the club was founded. Devotion to Virginia Tech and leadership development become natural consequences of German Club membership. Our members are active in leadership positions in academic societies, the Corps of Cadets, the student body and government, residence halls, and many other aspects of student life. Founded as a social organization, the German Club continues to promote fellowship with socials with sororities, club parties, and the traditional Midwinter’s Dance.
