SO SO SO exciting! Depending when you're around, I might not be in town (our spring break is coming up). But I would LOVE to answer any questions you have about anything and everything right here on this blog! That way everyone can benefit from my brilliant wisdom (just kidding!). Also, you have just given me a new idea for a blog post! I think I'll make one on the top 10 things to do when a visiting student at Harvard. Just some that come to mind: go check out the Adams House tunnels (getting lost is part of the fun), have a burger at Bartley's, forget touching John Harvard's foot -- return at night and sit on his lap, check out memorial hall (and try to sneak into Annenberg -- the freshman dining hall), make sure to be outside of the Science Center between 12:00-12:07 (it's said that something like half of the Harvard undergrad population passes through there at that time).... and I'll come up with more!

I think the undergraduate fraternities are reserved for undergraduates, but there may be graduate-level greek life or comparable social clubs. Depending on where you go to grad school (...Harvard??), you should ask around and see what they offer. Even if it's not a sorority, I would highly recommend getting involved in an extracurricular that will give you a built-in social network. To be honest, I am not really sure.

I think the main difference is that Greek life is NOT a big deal here at Harvard. Being in a sorority can give you a great network of AMAZING girls who provide a lot of great advice and a lot of great fun, but it most definitely does not make or break your social life like it can at other schools. Harvard has a wealth of other opportunities to be social, whether it be a sorority/fraternity, a final club, an extracurricular, or your dorm/house. That being said, I am LOVING my theta girls! <3 Great question! I think the main difference is that Greek life is NOT a big deal here at Harvard.
