Campus Events 

Chair: Liz Clarkin-Breslin

The Campus Events Committee is responsible for organizing social events for the Harvard undergraduate community. In the past these have included a tailgate at the Harvard-Yale football game, a night at the Comedy Connection, and parties in Boston. Because of the incredible response, The Seneca will continue to host these events, like Frost and the Red Party, while adding others, in order to expand our contribution to the Harvard social scene. Because of the large task before us, members of the Campus Events Committee are energetic, creative and dedicated to brainstorming and implementing new ways to make an impact on the Harvard campus.

The Red Party

Each April, The Seneca hosts its annual Red Party at the Roxy club in Boston. The first Red Party in April of 1999 was the first party open to all undergraduates. Each year, Campus Events in conjunction with the Public Relations committee launches an extensive publicity campaign designed to ensure that all undergraduates on campus are invited and welcomed to the party. The party was created to establish a comfortable social space for the Harvard community in which all students can interact on equal terms. Exceeding expectations, the fifth-annual party in 2004 drew a crowd of nearly 1,500 Harvard students and was by far the largest Harvard club party in history.

Harvard-Yale Tailgate

Each year, The Seneca hosts a tailgate at the renowned Harvard v. Yale football game. All students and alumni are welcome to enjoy the abundant food and overflowing drinks while enjoying the traditional festivities of game day.

Frost

In December, The Seneca hosts its annual all-campus winter party. Each undergraduate on campus receives a hand-delivered invitation to the event. With generally over 1100 students in attendance, the night allows Harvard undergraduates to have an all-campus event right before Winter Break.

In September of 2004, the Seneca started a yearly tradition of a campus block party with music, food and fun. The first block party was a non-alcoholic event open to the entire Harvard community, held on South Street, next to Kirkland House.
