In 1972, four students of UI had a discussion on how to form an organisation that would promote the African culture. It was at this meeting that the name 'Kegite' was adopted, from the word keg, which is the native calabash for storing palm wine.

The history of the club was constructed by interviewing the founding fathers. The drinking behaviour was described by highlighting the findings of a questionnaire survey of members at the Universities of Ibadan (southern Nigeria) and Jos (northern Nigeria). The club was independently founded at the Universities at Ife (1962) and Ibadan (1972). The objectives are to promote the African culture, and to foster friendship among youths of institutions of higher learning.
Official engagements are characterised by joyful exuberant singing, drumming and dancing, in which the only alcoholic drink allowed is palm wine, with strict rules to prevent intoxication.
