After the morning of courses, alumni had lunch in one of the Houses, either their own from their College days or with their reuniting class.
Afterwards they headed to a panel on undergraduate life.
Obiora I. "Bo" Menkiti '99, Sharmil S. Modi '99, Katherine M. O'Connor '99 and Tally Zingher '99, talked about their Harvard experiences, both in terms of academic and extracurricular experiences.
The majority of the audience's questions centered on social life at Harvard, dealing with issues such as fraternities, final clubs, the New York Times article on Harvard student happiness and the effects of randomization on House community.
Both men are members of the Sigma Chi fraternity; Menkiti and Zinger are members of final clubs, the Delphic and the Bee, respectively.
Modi attributed his involvement in the fraternity to a search for a community he has not found in other facets of Harvard life.
"When I graduate and come back, Leverett House will not know who I am. The Economics Department already doesn't know who I am," he said.
The alumni also asked about the Reserve Officer Training Corps, grade inflation and the breaking news of the day, Radcliffe's merger with Harvard.
