The Crimson Circle is an all-male service organization composed of 35 sophomore, junior, and senior men from Loyola Marymount University and follows Jesuit principles. The Crimson Circle has served the university and surrounding communities in Los Angeles since its founding in 1929. Their crimson sweaters have been passed down from member to member for over eighty years. The Crimson Circle was established at Loyola University on September 29, 1929 to assist the Jesuit Dean of Students with the enforcement of the Student Conduct Code at student assemblies and athletic events by administering punishment on infractors and interpreting the ASLU Constitution. It is a tradition as old as the Westchester campus itself. The first group of Crimsons included the top upper classmen of Loyola University with honorary positions held for the President of ASLU, the editor-in-chief of the Loyolan, and the president of the no longer existing Block L Society. In this group was Wil Von der Ahe who took over for his father in running the Vons Corporation.
