...these activities is more fun than chilling in a random d-hall. Harvard Pre-Medical Society: We hear they’re doing amazing things with DNA testing today. The Gamut: This all-poetry magazine should be receptive to tearjerkers about a misunderstood unicorn who becomes a societal outcast because of one alleged act. Or multiple alleged acts. Harvard Outing Club: What happens in the woods, stays in the woods. Mock Trial Team & Pre-Law Society: In case you should ever find yourself in court. Harvard Science Fiction Club: These guys will believe any story. Catholic Student Association: A religion...
