Prufrock Special Events

Halloween Party

Prufrock throws an unforgettable costume party each Halloween (on the following Saturday). We invite all members of the Caltech community. Check out the pictures from previous years!

Iron Chef!

The Asian Pacific Student Union organizes an annual Caltech Iron Chef competition. We may be nerds, but we like our food! Check out the details from previous years!

Pig Roast & Luau
