Spee Club (Harvard)

The Spee Club is a final club at Harvard University. In September 2015 its members voted to admit female members. The club is located at 76 Mount Auburn Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts.

The Spee Club was founded in 1852 as a chapter of the Zeta Psi fraternity. In 1965, the club was the first Harvard final club to accept an African-American member.

Notable alumni include John F. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy. Douglas Kenney, later a co-founder of the National Lampoon and a co-writer of the fraternity-centered film comedy National Lampoon's Animal House, was president of the Spee Club during his senior year at Harvard. The club's mascot is a bear.
