...experience is not unlike a November afternoon: a little chilly, but not exactly frozen either. On paper, the youngest quartile is offered a slew of exceptional accommodations, ranging from an in-house proctor to provide around-the-clock counsel, to a Prefect Program that presents an upperclass perspective, to frosh-only dining designed to engender class cohesion. In reality, however, advising is wholly hit-or-miss, study breaks are largely unattended, and the charm of Annenberg wears thin long before it has ever been appreciated. But the Freshman Dean’s Office (FDO), under the leadership of Thomas...
...them to enjoy their current communities and not worry about it, but really. Of course they’re going to spend half the semester strategizing for allies—it’s their only chance to assert control over their future communities at the College, as their frosh living community is frittered away at the end of freshman year. This is too much unhealthy pressure from the College’s administration, and they should know better. Discombobulated first-years don’t have the mental chops to deal with this, in addition to everything else they?...
This was more than just an opening act.

Appearance and last name sometimes tell only...
...social activists, progressives, and left-leaning intellectuals that populate this campus, there lurk shadowy organizations that conservatively cling to tradition and anachronism, even in the face of great societal progress. The vast majority of the freshman class encounters these nocturnal beasts even before they arrive at Harvard, during pre-frosh weekend. And those who escape them then are nevertheless ensnared by the end of their first week on campus. With names that are either enigmatic or animal-inspired, their mystique is unquestionable, as is the magnetic effect they have on freshmen women and men, alike. But as far as membership...
