Each college has its own SAC or Student Activities Council that coordinates social events for the college. Highlights include the annual Pierson Inferno Halloween bash, featuring some of the most imaginative/bizarre costumes around, and the Silliman College Safety Dance, where you're pretty much guaranteed to hear "Come on Eileen" at least three times. If you are interested in any of these SAC-sponsored activities, you should consult the Yale Daily News, the Herald, or the colleges themselves. And look for clubs such as BGLAD and the Afro-Am House who also throw great parties. Don't forget to bring your Yale ID to these events, and if you're planning to imbibe, you'll need a Yale Drinking Card as well (your driver's license won't work) This card may be obtained at the Yale College Registrar's Of ce. The exception to the rule of residential college-sponsored social events are the fraternities and secret societies which will throw an occasional mixer. Due to the strength of the college system, fraternities and sororities have traditionally been absent from Yale but the last few years have seen a strong resurgence in Greek activity. Most weekends will find one or more frats throwing a party; good ones include the Zeta Psi Buffet Bash and Sigma Nu's Octoberfest. And everyone should experience the hedonism of DKE Tang at least once. With colorful names like "Skull and Bones," "Book and Snake," and "Wolf's Head," the secret societies (unof cially, seven in all) are housed in those windowless, tomb-like buildings which you may see here and there around campus. Membership in each is limited to 12-15 seniors, most of whom are prominent and accomplished members of the class. Although membership in societies is supposed to be secret, it is also a status symbol and provides access to a valuable "old boy" network of society alums (ask George Bush about "Skull and Bones"). Society members usually throw one or two often-extravagant parties per year in their exotic tombs, but the invite-only policy tends to be strictly enforced. The best way to nd out about social events at Yale is by reading the Yale Daily News, the Herald (which comes out on Fridays) or the posters in Yale Station (basement of Wright Hall, corner of Elm and High Streets). Alternatively, if you are ever in one of the undergrad dining halIs, make sure to look through the "table tents" which advertise most of the week's events. As you will soon discover, the Weekly Bulletin and Calendar is good for "grand rounds" schedules but poor on the fun stuff you might want to read about. ===== from: http://www.yale.edu/ymc/ClimbingAtYale.html ----- The JE Sculpture Garden: There is a very nice wall in the Yale Art Gallery scupture garden behind Jonathan Edwards college. You can access it in two ways: (1) simply by walking through the doorway in between the JE dining hall and Skull and Bones (on High Street). (2) by climbing over a fence outside the JE library. Please be careful not to injure yourself or damage Art Gallery property; although all the sculptures are far from the wall, accidents can happen, so don't spoil it for the rest of us. ----- Aloha, He'Ping, Om, Shalom, Salaam.
