Sometime between kicking off your weekend at Pfoho Pfridays, hanging with pfriends in the two-level d-hall, and getting pfancy for Croquet or Pformal, you’ll realize that Pforzheimer is more than a house: It’s a home.

Cabot’s inclusive and entrepreneurial spirit creates an atmosphere where you can share your thoughts, hopes, and dreams at weekly Cabot Sharing, and start your own business (see: Cabot Café), arts space, or classical music group. Cabotians write their own stories.

But any House, no matter the facilities or the location or anything else, is made incredibly special by the people in it. That sounds clichéd, but we promise that it’s true. You (yes, you!) have a chance to make your Harvard experience something special, and your House is here to help you do it. No matter how you feel when those upperclassmen barge into your room, you’ll probably be right beside them next year, covered in face paint or wearing a silly outfit, ready to tell next year’s freshmen that your House is by far the best one on campus.

We can’t wait to meet you!

To Siberia, mutant rats, and living eight-to-a-room,
