<p>I wouldn't like someone to call me ugly. What's your point? If I was ugly, I'd admit it - but I would expect others not to say it to my face, purely out of courtesy. And if someone was going to mention it, I'd prefer them to tell me I'm ugly than lie and say I'm not.</p>
<p>None of these girls in the photos are ugly or should be called ugly, especially when they're not. That was my point.</p>
<p>Well that wasn't your point but if that's the point you now want to make, then I respect your opinion.</p>
<p>Sexile is seen as a roommate issue (like messiness or noise) as opposed to a sexual or moral issue. If you are having a bad problem with your roommate making your room unlivable because of sexile or any other reason, and the proctor doesn't do enough to solve the problem, you can go over the proctor's head for help (like a room change).</p>
<p>Re: who joins sororities: they're overwhelmingly (though not universally) straight. Southerners at Harvard are very overrepresented in them because Greek life is a big deal in the South. The sorority population skews more politically conservative than Harvard as a whole. The members are usually people who want a more active social outlet with big, organized parties instead of the smaller gatherings that are more common at Harvard. For example, the sororities will rent out a bar for 100 members and their dates and that kind of thing. There are also all-female social clubs like the Seneca that throw parties for the whole campus (e.g. they rent out a club in Boston and sell tickets).</p>
<p>Rooms at H and other schools I visited seemed pretty unconducive to privacy for sex, being as most rooms had two beds spaced very closely, so is it generally accepted that if you have a lady/guy friend in the room, the roommate has to stay away for a little while? And I guess that usually precludes sleepovers? :p</p>

<br>
<p>If you're a good/considerate person, you ask your roommate when he's busy, and your "friend" visits at times when the roommate has class/practice/rehearsal and wouldn't be home anyway. Sexile should not be necessary.</p>
<br>
<p>I guess that usually precludes sleepovers?</p>
<br>
<p>Common room futons were invented for just this situation. Roommates also take overnight trips for debate tournaments, away games, etc...and they may be absent sleeping over with THEIR significant other.</p>
<p>Basically, if everyone in Harvard pairs up, then exactly half of the student population would stay in their dorms, and the other half would be with their significant others, and everyone would have a place to stay overnight and nobody would be sexiled. (Since Harvard has few to no dorms with more than 2 roommates.)</p>
<p>That is precisely why a mandatory organization should exist on campus that forcibly enters all single students into sleeping relationships.</p>
<p>I got a question thats a little bit off-topic, but how do Harvard officials assign roommates? Do they make their decision based on the applications or does one have to send in some questionaire after accepting the offer? Also, are athletes usually roomed with non-athletes?</p>
<p>What are regulations on weaponry?</p>
<p>Can I bring a samurai sword with me?</p>
<p>Yes, you fill out a housing questionnaire after you are accepted. Athletes are not necessarily placed with other athletes.</p>
<p>Thats great to hear because it'd be kind of odd to hang out with someone from your team almost 24/7</p>
<p>I wonder why he'd rather LIVE with a GIRL. Is he gay?</p>

<p>And I wasn't disagreeing with you. I didn't say the girls in the pics are ugly, I only said they aren't all that pretty. By pretty, I mean PRETTY.</p>
<p>An article that addresses the original topic:</p>
<p>Although this thread is digressing...</p>
<p>Caltech allows students to share a dorm with a member of the opposite sex. At least they did two years ago, when I visited...so I think it is safe to assume that policy exists today.</p>
<p>Err...no I'm not gay.</p>
<p>You guys are spoiled worrying about competition in the dorms and such, i just wish there were women actually worth dating here (SDSMT) the guy/girl ratio is like 5/1 the school sit says otherwise, but theyre full of it, and half the girls that are here are not very attractive. So for all of you wondering/worrying about coed dorms, quit being spoiled.......JUST BE THANKFUL THERES ENOUGH WOMEN TO ACTUALLY HAVE THE THOUGHT FOR COED DORMS!!!!</p>
