The club closed completely and merged with the Fly club.
Kane says the Fly's controlled guest policy is vital to running a club in the current Harvard social environment.
"I've made my point clear enough to the presidents of other clubs to the problems with a lax guest policy," Kane says.
The Porc's Beef
A source close to the Porcellian club, the one club that has been on the outside of this whole debate, says his club has been watching the situation unfold.
He says the other clubs have put themselves in a very difficult situation by opening their doors to non-members in the past two decades.
"They'll have a hard time closing their doors," he says. "Such a dramatic change is like letting a genie out of a bottle."
The Porcellian has never seriously considered broadening its guest policy, according to the source, and the recent events reinforce their dedication to keeping the club for members alone.
