Hall History

Alumni Hall was constructed in 1931 at the same time as rival Dillon Hall. At the time, it provided a border for the southern edge of campus. The hall was so named in honor of the University's loyal alumni and was intended to be a home for alumni returning to campus. Alumni was originally configured to hold 212 students

Alumni was the first residence hall on campus to have an electric elevator. Its unique architecture includes gargoyles and stone carvings of everything from Madonna and Child (chapel entrance on north side), saints (Sts. Thomas Aquinas and Boneventure in the courtyard), dogs (Clashmore Mike, one of the original mascots of the football team), to Knute Rockne (east side). On the south side of the building, facing South Bend, is a carving of a college graduate known as Joe College who is looking towards leaving college for the real world. The hall's chapel is dedicated to St. Charles Borromeo, the patron saint of then-president Fr. Charles O'Donnell, CSC. Alumni Hall was renovated in the summer of 2004.

Alumni Hall is the only dorm on campus allowed to have Greek letters. They are Delta-Omega-Gamma which spells out the name of the Alumni mascot. They are allowed to display their letters at least three times a year. First, during orientation, secondly, during Alumni/Dillon Rivalry Week, and during Alumni's secretive Wake Week.
