<p>Uh oh! I see myself in the Housing Day movie.</p>

<p>As regards to the first link:</p>
<p>Both Stanford and Harvard have more "house spirit" than that. Not only does Stanford have flags rather than cheesy placards, but a deafening chorus of chants from dorms during NSO prompted Provost Bravman to comment, "They aren't having this much fun at Harvard." </p>
<p>Lowell House's spirit, I'm sure, pales compared to Berkeley College's.</p>
<p>I didn't see myself in the HRTV video! CURRIER HOUSE!</p>
<p>...if Vice Provost Bravman* said it, it MUST be true... ;)</p>
<ul>
<li>a triple-degree Stanford grad, no less!</li>
</ul>
<p>Lots of schools have spirit based on other schools. I experienced the same thing at another college I visited and its a major reason I decided not to go there. Why go to a school with an inferiority complex? Especially when its not even necessary. Your typical Harvardian doesn't see Stanford as inferior, so why do they do that to themselves? Harvard's house spirit, and generally the school spirit overall, is entirely from within and I love it.</p>
<p>yeah, the currier house showing was a bit weak in that video.</p>
<p>My favorite "spirit" moment was when a Boston TV affiliate came to campus to film a protest and accidentally filmed the freshman House welcome instead. In the news story that aired, the anchors were giving serious voiceover about how students are demanding change, etc., and the film is of kids chanting "LOWELL! LOWELL!" and there's a Leverett guy in a six-foot rabbit suit wandering around in the background.</p>
<p>Yeah, I think that was the start of the Iraq war or something. </p>
<p>The video is still on <a href="http://www.hrtv.org%5B/url%5D">www.hrtv.org</a></p>
<p>Yeah, saw it last night. Apparently, the reporter "spoke" to many students and recorded their opinions about the war before broadcasting the piece.</p>
<p>Lowell no longer has the most sex.</p>
<p>which house is the one with the BUNNY!! O.O!!</p>
<p>and =p the myriad of references to sex i think more makes it feel like it's a big deal which means that there's some insecurity regarding harvard's..</p>
<p>I thought that was you :)</p>
<p>the bunny? or my feelings about harvard's insecurity with its students' sex life? =p if the latter then, i don't think it's appropriate to go into that..........</p>
<p>Whatever, Zephyr. You know as well as I that Stanford's orientation "house spirit," is completely fake; it's pushed on us with the rest of the cheesy "YAY YOU'RE AT STANFORD" mentality that most students are forced to don unless they want to seem like they're raining on everyone else's parade.</p>
<p>"House spirit" 2 quarters later is barely noticible and largely defined by the fact that we have to live in the same place with each other. At both Harvard and Stanford...if you're not in an all-frosh dorm, then there isn't really a cohesive house identity.</p>
