The Fresh Five, Part One

Posted by on September 18, 2011 at 8:32 pm

With the opening of the fall semester, an influx of 2015 freshmen flooded the yard in full force, edging out their begrudging predecessors into river houses and the Faraway Quad. Starry-eyed, gaping-mouthed, they wandered around the compound in a frenzy of high-pitched buzz. All ears and eyes flitted quickly from one non-descript identity to another, until they stumbled upon a particularly distinctive and memorable character.

For this series, The Voice has identified five interesting freshies that might be worthy to take note of. Let’s start with…

1. The (In)Famous Pole Dancer

Have not we all met Katalicious from our premature, over-excited Facebook correspondences? She has successfully established her Facebook persona into a sort of Harvard online “hooker” brand, shocking the more conservative peers while earning respect from even the raunchiest upperclassmen with delightful innuendos such as “High school is like a dick : long and hard. Unless you’re Asian.” Sometimes they are outright suggestive like “I cannot fucking wait for Inside Out to hit radios. That song is so orgasmic and it turns me on every time and I will grind the fuck out of any nearby person/object.” Or perhaps shorter and classier pieces like “I love your cock because it sticks up for me.”

How to Buy a Date Without Being Creepy

Posted by on April 12, 2011 at 12:11 am

Come to Harvard Cancer Society’s Date Auction this Thursday! Proceeds, including the sale of food and drinks, go to support the American Cancer Society. So there, you’re bidding on a hot date for a good cause. Wink wink.

When: Thursday, April 14th, 9pm – Midnight

Where: Uno Chicago Bar and Grill

Who should be there: The single and fabulous. The attached and adventurous. The sexually frustrated, or just curious. So you, yes, all of you.

RSVP on the Facebook event page here.

But really, what else are you going to do on a Thursday night but check out random strangers and score potential formal dates. House formals are coming up!

Word on the street is that several members of various athletic teams have offered themselves up for auction, as well as a familiar staff writer of The Voice. All were asked to send in photos of themselves, which will be projected on a screen during the event. We should all be there for that segment.

Start your action-packed Prefrosh weekend the right way! It’s all in the name of charity, after all.

Princeton Does Katy Perry

Posted by on February 27, 2011 at 11:28 am

We never thought we’d say this, but Princeton University’s actually becoming less lame in our eyes. Watch the video below, which features their half-naked swimmers lip-syncing to Katy Perry’s Teenage Dream. We always had a thing for water sports, and now we know why!

The Men’s Swimming and Diving Ivy League Championship takes place next week, from Thursday to Saturday (March 3-5), at the Blodgett Pool. You know you want to be there. Or at least at the after party. Who knows which one of these Princeton parodists will be sticking around. And then you can tell everyone that you hooked up with a (very attractive) YouTube sensation. It won’t be a walk of shame, but of fame. Hey, we’re all about the silver lining here at The Voice.

Matchmaking Roundup

Posted by on December 10, 2010 at 3:22 pm

This winter formal season, The Voice tried a new experiment and played matchmaking for our dearest readers. The response was overwhelming, and if we couldn’t get back to you, our apologies. If the match we found for you didn’t deliver, we’re terribly sorry. Rest assured that with all the feedback we’ve received, our system will be improved in time for Spring Formals!

We thank you for your faith in our Matchmaking power, and we look forward to serving you again soon! Here are some stories*, variously titled “The Good, The Bad, and The Unexpected,” to round up the whole experience. Two freshman girls had two extremely different experiences, and a Varsity athlete in Eliot House went on a perfect date with a girl who still isn’t quite convinced about his sexual orientation. Maybe he’s too good to be true? Read on and find out for yourself!

*Names have been retracted to protect the privacy of our clients.

The Good:

As a blind dating newbie, my roommate and I decided to be adventurous and do the Voice Matchmaker together. Confused as how these matches would be made after no questions were asked about ourselves and only what we desired in a date, I was blessed by the matchmaking gods and asked to the Adams formal this past Sunday. My roommate graciously lent me a beautiful dress and sent me on my way into the Cambridge cold.

Unable to find the entrance and knowing nothing about my match except for his name, I wandered anxiously until I got a call from my date to invite me inside. Everything about the Adams House formal, whose theme was “Harry Potter,” was beautiful. The House could easily be mistaken for Hogwarts for the night. My date, a senior Adams resident, was extremely sweet and friendly and we wove in through the trees and mystical music to get inside, be sorted, and receive our wands.

Somehow, The Voice found me a perfect date and great new friend. We mingled for the night until he was drawn back to his room to work on his thesis. I am still unsure if the Voice worked its magic, if it was a purely magical night, or if Harvard is just full of truly nice guys. Either way it worked out for me, I had a great time and I hope my date felt the same!

Picture 12

Oh hayyyy

You may think that The Voice has a thing for Emma Watson, but damn. Her brother is way hotter! Emma’s 17-year-old brother Alex debuted as a model alongside her for the Burberry Spring/Summer ad campaign.
