Which House Would Win March Madness?

Welcome to March Madness, where twelve Harvard Houses enter the bracket… and only one emerges as the supreme champion. Post-Housing Day, it’s perfect timing for everyone to see where their House lands on the bracket. The committee has spoken. The seeds are locked in. Let the games begin.


What Your Rainwear Says About Your Unhingedness

Have you ever wondered what your rainwear says about you? No? Well, I’ll tell you anyway, and you’ll be so thankful that I helped you learn so much about yourself. Therapy costs money, but Flyby’s unlicensed psychoanalysis is free!


The HUA Officer Positions That Should Exist

This spring, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed IOP kids are gearing up for their first taste of public office as they campaign for roles on the HUA ranging from Academic Team Officer to Social Life Team Officer. While we appreciate the hard work that goes into each of these positions, there are a few more that could add substantial value to the important (read: important for the resumé) work of the HUA.


Get Rid of the Rafter! Bring Back the Rail!

While we were all ecstatic at the announcement of plans to construct a monorail running from the Quad Lawn to Barry’s Corner (across from Trader Joe’s, for those of you not in the know), apparently there’s been a snag in these plans: the turkeys.


Harvard Houses as Classic Easter Candy

No one has experienced pure joy until they have gone to the post-Easter CVS clearance aisle. Pastels, chocolate, and seasonal bunny-shaped goods galore! In preparing to raid the candy inventory once April 21 hits, here’s what sweet treats I think the Easter Bunny would identify with each Harvard House.


How to Pretend You’re Still on Spring Break

Life’s a beach. Spring break is a mentality. You may have made some of the best memories of your life this past week, but just because you’re back on campus doesn’t mean that it has to end. Here’s how to keep the spring break glow alive, even when you’re walking to lecture and not behind the DJ booth in Miami.


Lowell House

Lowell House’s community unites under a number of things: their big bell energy, iconic tea, rich blue color scheme, and most importantly, maintaining their image as a vastly desired House by freshmen. Their convenient and central location to the Yard, the Square, and the MAC, along with an iconic bell tower, make the House stand out. Lowell may just live up to the hype.


Flyby Tries: Scrambled Eggs in Every House Dining Hall

The ultimate challenge. Waking up on Sunday morning. To eat 12 eggs. In each of the 12 Harvard Houses. In one to two hours. Follow one to two flyby writers as they attempt this at the cost of everything!


Quincy House

Welcome to Quincy House! With its iconic House events, tight-knit community and HOT BREAKFAST (yes, get jealous), Quincy House, aka “The People’s House,” has all you’ll ever want. Its location — close to the Yard and centrally situated near the river — says it all; Quincy is a welcoming home for everyone…or should I say, everypenguin?


Adams House

Welcome to Adams — swanky, spirited, and newly renovated. Featuring four buildings, top-of-the-line amenities, an abundance of singles, and a bustling community (all a mere block from the Yard), Adams House truly has it all. Be ready to embrace its unofficial acorn mascot, partake in weekly Carpes, and enjoy the convenience and comfort of this jack-of-all-trades House.


Flyby Tries: Venturing (Down?) Into the Unknown

In the name of hard-hitting investigative journalism, we ventured out into the underground tunnel system so that you don’t have to. From rats to Dino Bites, Kirkland to Leverett, we saw it all. Give it a read at your own risk.


Kirkland House

Got Kirked? Worry not. In River West, behind some bold black gates, you’ll find the small but mighty Kirkland House. While the courtyard might look calm at a first glance, the House’s lively traditions and irrepressible spirit will keep your three years in Kirk buzzing with energy. Winning a spot in Kirkland ensures more than just an ideal location along the River (or Costco-themed merch); you’ll also become part of a tight-knit “kommunity.”


Eliot House

Imagine this: lounging on a hammock, facing the Charles River from the Eliot courtyard, chatting with other Eliotites about what to wear to the best event of the year — Fête, the formal with the most sought-after tickets. Amazing, right? Eliot House isn’t just a place to live. It’s a social scene, and everyone wants in. From holiday dinners to perfectly themed steins and over-the-top formals, Eliotites dominate the fashion game in their cocktail attire. Are you (secretly) longing for the “work hard and play harder” energy? Come to the DOMUS!


Winthrop House

Welcome to Winthrop, where the only thing more legendary than the air purifiers is the community that calls this place home. Whether you’re here for the cozy lounges, the championship-worthy IM teams, or the massive suites, there’s something for everyone. Stick around, and you might just find yourself in the company of the next Oppenheimer or JFK!
