HarvardHoochies Exclusive: 20 Questions

Posted by on March 7, 2011 at 4:06 pm

Carrie Bradshaw and Samantha Jones might have taken the Big Apple by storm a decade ago, but this year, a new group of heels-wearing, BBM-ing, tweeting girls are set to put the “Sex” back in the City of Cambridge. Well, at least the part of Cambridge that houses Harvard’s eight all-male Final Clubs.

Self-described as “[Boston University] bitties, hooching and husband hunting at Harvard Final Clubs. We ward off RUHGs (random ugly Harvard girls)…frequently,” these seven girls, who call themselves the “HarvardHoochies,” spend their weekends party-hopping around Mt. Auburn street and aren’t afraid to let the whole Twitter universe know it. The girls are outrageous, hilarious and unapologetic about their mission statement – to find the preppiest, final-club-biest flavor of the night. Even Newsweek acknowledged their Twitter account as ” mak[ing] the entire scene sound like Jersey Shore in gabardine.”

(Yes that’s not a real picture of them. You gotta sniff them out, ‘hun. You know where to look! Xoxo)

The Voice sat down with the Hoochies on Friday, with sangria on their side and HUHDS fries on ours (yes, it was never evenly matched), and talked about their lives at Harvard, the “hoochies-tweeting” trend in other colleges, and, you guessed it, the Final Clubs.

1. Let’s set the record straight once and for all. The Hoochies does exist. Seven of you guys from Boston University, not Wellesley, not Boston College, and definitely not Harvard. Right?

Yes, strictly BU, 7 of us. There are however several honoraries, about 5 of them. They are BU girls too

2. There was a rumor that there’re 80 of you. What is this, a sorority?

HH: We know! Let’s just get rid of the rumors. We have a bbm group and the only girls in the bbm group are the 7 originals. 80 might want to be the HH, but they just don’t cut it.

3. Any plan to recruit more HHs any time soon?

In 1 year when 6 of us graduate. The golden snitch graduates this year. Tear..

4. Collectively, are you guys more like Carrie Bradshaw – charming but a little neurotic and needy. Or like Samantha Jones – sexy vixen who knows what she wants and isn’t afraid to get it?

Between all of us we have the entire SATC cast, minus Miranda. We leave Miranda for the RUHGs.

5. How do you ward off RUHGs, exactly?

We ward off RUHGs with our RUHG whistle and overall presence. They usually flee when any BU girl comes.

6. How do you ward off RUFL – Random Ugly Final Club Losers? Let’s be real, there’re quite a few of them out there.

NO NO not true. No RUFLs. The fact that they are in a final club alone makes them the prince charming to our Cinderella.

7. Princeton now also has PromiscuousPton. Do you think the HH will become a trend throughout the Ancient Eight? Why does Princeton have the PP anyway? Who else is there in that town except for them? And whoever cares about Princeton anyway?

Harvard is #1 for a reason. We think the princeton account is funny but you’re right, they are the only one’s there and it leaves no mystery to the twitter. It obviously is a princeton girl. Furthermore, as the HH we acknowledge how BU girls go to harvard for one reason and why Harvard guys welcome us. There’s a mutual understanding that we laugh at. Princeton doesn’t have that #sorryimnotsorry.

8. Any special reason for this lovefest with basketball? It seems to be your favorite sports. We think the water polo boys are crying foul.

We don’t discriminate against sports teams. They’re all sexual.

BUT, it does seem more of the bball guys are active on twitter. Plus, they are doing really well right now and they’re in season. However, baseball season is coming up… #delphic

9. What’s your most and least favorite final club, and why?

Michelle we don’t have a fave or least fave BUT, the AD can’t have girls over as of right now. AND the Fox has a baby contraption. However, we still love them. We’ve had amazing and awful nights at every single club.

10. When did you start going to final clubs?

Freshman year, the first semester. Within a week of coming. All of the HH bonded because we molest the Harvard scene.

11.  How has the final club scene changed, if at all, since the Social Network? More obnoxious Phoenix boys?

I think the HH coupled with The Social Network has made them a bit more #TFCM than they used to be. Total Final Club Move-esque. Now they’re very aware of the sex appeal that final clubs offer, if they weren’t already.

12. The background of your Twitter page is a picture of the Fly. Any special reason?

It was just a classic old picture. No big reason.

13. Having lost all those stuff in final clubs – like leggings in the Delphic, don’t tell us why – do you think they should reimburse you with some of their trust fund money?

No no, we think they should marry us and give us their credit cards/cars. That’s all we want! NBD.

14. Speaking of, when do you know that a final club man is “the one”? And then how do you secure him?

At the 2:30 mark, whoever you’re talking to is the one you’re going home with. That is, unless you’re talking to Rico at the Market. #win

15. Do you think Mark Zuckerberg should have been in a final club? if so, which one would he fit into?

No, absolutely not. His sandals are not okay. However, Facebook makes him sexual.

16. You have a thing for vanilla and chocolate. That’s been established. No love for the yellow/Asian men?

I mean the Hasians – Hot Asians – are few and far between for us. HOWEVER, Teddy Ho, we die for you :)

17. How often are you guys at Harvard, and how often do you guys think about Harvard?

We think about harvard every day, 24/7, every second of the day. February was a very Cambridge month. As was October and November.

18. Did the final club boys you know have any reaction to the official formation of the HH group? Or that you guys are getting more popular – on the internet at least – by the minute?

All the final club guys in general seem to love it. Until we call them out. The PC got upset about the bubble gum drinks. We love them, but we’re not always rainbows and kittens.

19. Do you have stereotypes for each of the final club?

Phoenix: Chocolate. Owl: Meathead. Delphic: Baseball and rugby. AD: Hottest and they know it; Tennis, Lax. Fox: Who cares, babygate. PC: Wealthiest. Fly: Bow ties.

[Did we forget about The Spee? Yes, yes we did.]

20.  One last, most serious question. What’s your response to the feminists who think that you exacerbate the male-dominated tradition of Harvard and contribute to the objectification of women?

To be honest, many of the HH are women’s studies minors. We think the final club scene points out double standards and do think at times the men are okay with, as you say, objectifying women. However, the HH are only poking fun and see the hilarity of how women seek out Harvard men as the perfect boys to bring home to mom. We can all hold a spatula if you’re holding the key chains to the final club door.

    kinda racist to label a club ‘chocolate’ just because they are the only club that has any kind of diversity… they only have like 9 black guys, right?

  2. Linda says:

    This is so stupid.
    and btw, neither is Miranda ugly nor are any of you seemingly intelligent. What do you like, FAIL women’s studies?
    biddies.
    Your comment about double standards made no sense. BUY A DICTIONARY.

    lord i hate biddie-hos.

  4. Zuckerfanforareason says:

    Barking up the wrong tree, ladies. We all know that CS50 concentrators will be the ones with the keys and the cars. (How many billions does Zuckerberg have? How about Mr. Gates?)

  5. wtf says:

  7. mat says:

    i just actually read the account this is what is typically known as “houmouuur”

  8. harvardgirl says:

    Okay, yes… I find this whole thing rather ridiculous but come on! It’s not as if they’re in any way threatening our way of (party)life.

    I actually find their repertoire of twitter posts perfect for procrastination from midterms.

    “If someone tried to take away my blackberry, I’d bite them. I’d bite them then break their nose and run” HAHAHAHAHA

  9. [...] Between the T, snails in the food, and ice from the roofs, we don’t know how better to procrastinate than laugh our asses off at this. Don’t miss the slap at the Harvard Hoochies. [...]

  10. [...] we feel indignant for fellow Harvard ladies (first the Hoochies, then this, now Wellesley?), at least it wasn’t a repeat of [...]
