The Eclectic House at 200 High Street, circa May, 2004

        The Eclectic Society at ΦΝΘ (Phi Nu Theta) was established in 1837. It was the first fraternity established at Wesleyan, and the oldest local (non-national) fraternity in the United States. In 1970, Eclectic was the first fraternity at Wesleyan to coeducate and was renamed to the Eclectic Society at Wesleyan University, without the ΦΝΘ.

        The Eclectic House at 200 High Street was built in 1907 and was designed by Henry Bacon who also designed the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC, and the Olin Library at Wesleyan.
