The Crimson - Students in all nine River Houses received sealed invitations under their doors early Friday morning professing to come from “Harvard’s Newest Final Club”—with the inflammatory statements that “Jews need not apply” and “Coloreds OK.”  The enclosed flyer, bearing a crest of a griffin encircled by a laurel wreath, invited recipients to the first introductory punch event of the purported social club “The Pigeon.”  The invitation listed three virtues, each with asterisked notes. The first principle, “Inclusion,” came with the footnote, “Jews need not apply.” The second, “Diversity,” was followed by the words, “Seriously, no fucking Jews. Coloreds OK.” And the third, “Love,” directed readers to the term “Rophynol”—a misspelled rendering of rohypnol, the date rape drug better known as roofies.  The flyer also instructed aspiring members to wear “Semi-Bro Attire” to the punch event, to be held at frozen yogurt shop Berryline at 11:02 p.m.—two minutes after closing time—on Dec. 13, or to send their regrets to a room in Mather House.

 

Harvard catching a lot of heat in the news lately.   BDSM clubs.  Fraternity-type clubs with no Jews allowed.  Getting bashed from all angles.  Frankly I don’t really get what the big deal is?    I mean it’s not like they’re racist.  They clearly said that Coloreds were ok.  Just not in the mood for Jews.  Whatever.  I get it.  I get sick of Jews sometimes too.  My boss, my co-workers, my friends, the mirror.  Sometimes you just need some gentiles around to switch up the perspective a little bit.   Seriously people are acting like the students at Harvard are elitist and ignorant and slightly racist which I believe could be the first time that accusation has been lobbed at the Ivies.   Got to be disheartening when your no Jews allowed Semi-Bro roofie club gets instantly hated on for no good reason.
