...That said, there is some truth to the rumors of the freshman boy’s plight. You will get turned away from final clubs—which, in most senses, replace the fraternities at state schools, even though there are a few sororities and fraternities at Harvard. We like to think of final clubs as big playhouses for the boys, though there are four female final clubs. Your freshman girl friends might ditch you after the pregame to go final club hopping on Saturday nights, but you will have your revenge senior year when you invite BU girls...
...Some rooms are known to throw pretty solid events. These suites, scattered around the campus but most highly concentrated in the Quad (to compensate for the fact that the administration hates Quadlings), are usually freshman boy friendly venues. And their inhabitants fully accept their civic responsibility to host underclassmen. Freshman boys, keep your ears peeled for get-togethers hosted at what we’ll call alternative venues: upperclassmen houses, party suites, the occasional dining hall.

You might just meet the girls who will become your future blockmates and best friends at a random white-out party freshman week. Sororities, female final clubs, and even the Freeze magazine mixers are a nice way to befriend girls with whom you have at least one thing in common—you like to have...
...Expos 20 is a necessary evil of freshman year, but it’s also a course that may impart some benefit if you are lucky—so embrace it. Make friends in Annenberg while whining over the reading, bond with your classmates during peer editing, and maybe even learn how to write a tiny bit better as a result...
