Michael B. Murphy '03 and Jean E. Huang '03, who refer to each other as "pre-frosh buddies," met when Murphy's friend spilled lemonade on Huang's velvet pants.
Other meetings were more prosaic.
"We had a group of six girls [rooming together] and we just stuck together," Meredith L. "Max" Hodges '03 says. "We e-mailed all summer and now we have pre-frosh reunion brunches every once in a while."
But not all pre-frosh roommates got along swimmingly.
Daniel R. Fish '03 only saw the other prospective student living in his room when he stumbled in at 5 a.m.
"The whole weekend I never spoke to the kid," he says. "I kinda woke up when he collapsed in the doorway."

"I met this other pre-frosh, a girl, and we walked across the river and broke into the football stadium and then we hooked up in the basement of Straus [Hall]," he says.
