"Thayer [is] good for parties," said a 16-year old SSP student from New York City.
"[The proctors] know about it somewhat, but they choose to ignore it," added Sara L. Cooper, a SSP student in Matthews Hall.
Danielle K. Cohen, another Matthews resident, said her proctor laid out the rules but isn't around enough to enforce them.
"The way [our proctor] presented it, he was really serious, but then we never see him," she said. "Our proctor is kind of in his room all the time."
Thayer proctor Peter A. Hahn '99, who is also a former Crimson executive, said he was aware of his dorm's reputation, but attributed it to a pervasive social atmosphere.
"No matter what floor or proctor group they're in, [the students] are likely to know each other," Hahn said. "There are some who are serious about their classes and there are those who are not."
"It's our responsibility to see what's going on if it could be against the rules," he said.
There has also been a recent controversy regarding students congregating on the steps of Weld Hall. A popular late-night hang out, the steps of Weld have now been put off limits for SSP students seeking social diversion.
