There was no discussion of the possibility of an ICC-wide spring punch. Currently, individual clubs may punch prospective members in the spring at their discretion, but this informal spring punch season lasts only one week and will not be affected by the policy change.
Sears also said the Owl, which had been closed since early December, has reopened to members.
The closure came at the end of the punch season, shutting doors the day of the scheduled initiation party.
Owl President Jonathan Powers '00 confirmed the news, saying the graduates and undergraduates had agreed to a concrete set of policies.
"We reopened February 14 after some time to revise the way we operate," he said. "There were a lot of legal issues, and we wanted to figure out where to go."
He said the new Owl policy is similar to that of the Fly Club: members are restricted to two guests, who must be signed in and out, on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. Female and non-Harvard male guests may go upstairs in the clubhouse, but Harvard undergraduate males may only enter the basement and the backyard.
The Owl also used the time off to deal with some physical improvements and repairs.
