Harvard’s final clubs: the Fox, Spee, Delphic, A.D., Fly, Owl, Phoenix and Porcellian, are privately owned mansions that house exclusively male organizations. They are places where men come together to develop a sense of brotherhood, make connections and have social gatherings—reinforcing the old boy network central to Harvard’s history of patriarchy, racism, heterosexism and economic elitism...

Both groups broke away from the more moderate Muslim Brotherhood to wage a terror war against Mubarak and his predecessor, President Anwar Sadat. For much of the 1990s, they waged a terror campaign at home, culminating in the massacre of 57 tourists at Luxor in 1997 by the Gama'a.
