Originally membership was limited to men and the club's yearbooks included "naughty" stories about women and cartoons and drawings of naked or partially nude females. After a controversial 1991 vote to admit women as members, the yearbook somewhat cleaned up its act.The 1925 year book includes verse written in the person of Archy the dog by Don Marquis and "An Intercepted Letter to Los Angeles from Rupert Hughes". Among the illustrations is a depiction of nude ladies welcoming a nude gentleman to their luncheon table, referring to "a rumor that a feminine chapter of our Luncheon Lodge had been organized and was holding sessions at the Martinique on Wednesday noons."
