The Letter Club is in charge of: freshman initiation; the electing and sponsoring of cheerleaders; the football programs; the annual Lettermen’s Dance; the concession stand at the basketball games; and the lettermen's chicken fry. Part of the tradition that each freshman has come to appreciate is the wearing the IWC beanies which identify the individual as a new student on campus . Early in September the lettermen-s queen candidates lettermen hand out the beanies and rule sheets concerning the freshman initiation. The Club members also select a Queen to reign over their annual Letter Club Dance. With the spring comes the annual Chicken Fry at McMillan Park. It is at this meeting that senior lettermen who have participated in the activities of the club receive their Letter Club pin and a life-time membership in the Wesleyan Letter Club.
