Tau Kappa Epsilon, Whitman College-Stu's fraternity (Tau Kappa Epsilon (ΤΚΕ or Teke, pronounced T-K-E or Tēk) is an international all-male secret and social college fraternity founded on January 10, 1899, at Illinois Wesleyan University. The organization has chapters in the United States, Canada, and an affiliation with a German fraternity system known as the Corps of the Weinheimer Senioren-Convent (WSC). There are currently 291 active TKE chapters and colonies throughout the United States and Canada, making it the largest fraternity in terms of chapters established. In 1928, TKE became one of the first fraternities to abolish "hell week", instead replacing it with a secret initiation period.TKE is also historically known for never allowing discriminatory recruitment practices against race, religion, or national origin, despite widespread pre-Civil Rights Act of 1964 discrimination in other fraternities.)

Odd Fellows Home, near the Whitman College Campus (The Independent Order of Odd Fellows (IOOF) is a global altruistic and benevolent fraternal organization derived from the British Oddfellows service organizations of the 18th century. There are a number of explanations of the origin of the name, for example In 18th century England, it was odd to find people organized for the purpose of giving aid to those in need and of pursuing projects for the benefit of all mankind. Those who belonged to such an organization were called "Odd Fellows".In 18th century England, it was odd to find people organized for the purpose of giving aid to those in need and of pursuing projects for the benefit of all mankind.

L'Ecole No 41 WInery in the historic Frenchtown School, Lowdon, WA near Walla Walla (L’Ecole No 41 is a family owned winery. The tasting room is in an early 1915 schoolhouse building. Visitors to the tasting room will discover many school items including chalkboards and built in bookshelves. The school opened in 1915 and closed in 1974. When visitors enter the double wood doors immediately in front of them is a short set of steps up to a large tasting room area. A deck wraps around two sides of the building. Inside the top of the tasting counter is green chalkboard and small pieces of chalk are available for visitors to draw on the chalkboard tasting counter, adding to the school atmosphere. Jean and Baker Ferguson purchased the old school building in 1979. L’Ecole translates to "the school" and No 41 the school district number 41.Frenchtown derived its name from the many French Canadians who settled in the Walla Walla Valley during the early 1800s. Legend has it these men of French descent raised grapes and produced wine.)

Petrified Wood-Ginkgo Petrified Forest State Park-Vantage, Washington (Ginkgo Petrified Forest State Park is a 7,470-acre park with year-round camping at Wanapum recreational area. The park features 27,000 feet of freshwater shoreline on the Wanapum Reservoir on the Columbia River. Petrified wood was discovered in the region in the early 1930s, which led to creation of the park as a national historic preserve. The park was set aside as a historic preserve when remains of a fossil forest were unearthed during highway construction in the 1930s. Petrified wood from many different trees are common in the area, but specimens of petrified Ginkgo are rare.)

Ginkgo Petrified Forest State Park, Vantage, Washington (During the Miocene epoch, around 15.5 million years ago,[2] the region was lush and wet, home to many plant species now extinct. A number of these trees were buried in volcanic ash, and the organic matter in the tree trunks was gradually replaced by minerals in the groundwater; the resulting petrified wood was protected for millennia by flows of basalt. Near the end of the last ice age, the catastrophic Missoula Floods (about 15,000 BC) eroded the basalt, exposing some of the petrified wood.)
