Get sexiled?
Have a blast?
Lose your way back to your host’s room?
Find yourself at M.I.T.?
Find yourself in another state?
Share it here!
If you have the best anecdote we’ll feature it in its own post on Noice!
[...] This post was mentioned on Twitter by The Harvard Voice. The Harvard Voice said: Send us your prefrosh stories! http://bit.ly/98Agu2 [...]
My prefrosh weekend went like this: getting smashed at various sketchy dorms, going to IHOP at 3am and leaving because there was a legit fight occurring involving forks, and drunkenly singing down Mt. Auburn Street whilst holding hands with a girl who is now my roommate. Prefrosh SUCCESS.
Another story:
The poor girl who was the other prefrosh that my host was hosting was really considerate. On night #2, when I came back to the room at around 3am, she sat up from her sleeping bag and said: “I kept the lights on for you so you didn’t have to stumble through the dark.” THANKS GIRL. THANKS.
I was absolutely frightened on the first night. The Owl and country night. Half- naked, drunk guys with cowboy hats and country music. I kept thinking I don’t belong at this party, I don’t belong at this party. But it was okay once I spotted another black girl ;)
and thank god The Owl isn’t like that all the time (which was of course what I assumed)
My first night I ended up at the Kong with the Harvard Radcliffe Asian American Christian Fellowship with and because of my atheist best friend. (Need I point out the many levels of irony in that particular situation?)
While at the Kong, I met another kid with whom I exchanged numbers. However when I met up with him the next day, he introduced himself to the other prefrosh I was with as my ex-boyfriend from 6th grade. Needless to say, I found this a little strange. I somehow ended up spending the rest of the night with him and his friend from high school while they talked about their classmate who founded a porn company, beer pong, and their secret rating system for hot girls.
The next day, I had no intention of seeing the kid again, but ran into him at an Asian bbq, where a well-meaning upperclassman asked if we were dating. Awk. He and his friend from high school ended up hanging out with some of my friends that night. He passed the time taking pictures of me from across the room and shouting at me, “Woman! You’re sleeping on the couch tonight!” I was incredibly skeeved out to the point where I considered going to Yale. Fortunately for me, my horrifying memories of Bulldog Days were much stronger than my creeptastic ones of Harvard Prefrosh, so I did, in fact, end up at this illustrious institution.
Coda: One year later, I’m not only friends with the (former) creeper kid, but dating his friend from high school. So, summary of prefrosh weekend: Atheist best friend takes me to Christian fellowship takes me to disreputable drinking/eating establishment where I meet boy who tells people we’re dating who then introduces me to boy I actually end up dating (who, incidentally, is Jewish).
you win…
My host’s roommate came back to her room drunk with a boy. I was supposed to sleep in the common room on the futon but when I tried to get some shut eye, I heard them turn up the music in her room, supposedly to mask any sex noises. Needless to say it didn’t really mask anything.
I remember sitting there thinking to myself, “so THIS is what sexiling is like!…….ewww”
Ironically, I had read horror stories about being sexiled during prefrosh week on the Crimson website, but had laughed it off. If only I had known…
my “host” locked me out for three hours to party, while i stood in the rain getting my period a week earlier than expected. with nowhere to go I just basically crossed myself pretzel-like until she drunkenly came back to let me in.
such hospitality. but i still came to harvard so no harm no foul?
