The Cimmerian Club - 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon - Napa Valley

The Cimmerian was considered a tribal type of people who worked for the good of society outside the limelight. Founding members of the Cimmerian Club, which later became our Kappa Chapter at Purdue University, found this concept appealed to them. Unlike other early local founding groups of AKL, this one was encouraged by the Fraternity’s expansion plan and endorsed by the University’s Dean of Men. The concept started in 1930. Purdue required a group to exist as a local club for at least two years before affiliating with a National Fraternity. The group officially formed in 1931 modeling itself after AKL. On May 20, 1934 they became Kappa Chapter. The chapter boasts four Past National Presidents and an Executive Director of the Fraternity.
