Yes, Even at Harvard

So this will just be a quick post but I just had to relate my story of coming to work today. . .

So I was walking through Harvard Yard on my way to work this morning (Harvard Yard is the big area enclosed by the main dorms and buildings that make up Harvard College). Normally at quarter after eight there are some students milling around but it is more or less quiet. This morning however there was a big gathering of students who seemed to be formed into groups and were each wearing matching colors and holding big signs and banners. Needless to say I was slightly intrigued about what would bring these students out on a cold morning. I quickly found out. As I stopped to watch for a minute, a group of about 20 students burst out from the middle of the pack and began a lap around the Yard. . . in speedos and bikinis, yikes! :) I can only assume this had to do with some sort of initiation or something for the campus Frats and Sororities since they were chanting something I did not understand as they ran. Anyway, it was about the last thing I had expected to see but could only think, Yes, even at Harvard there are students who will run around in almost nothing in freezing temperatures. :)
