People of
faith describe Harvard as a snake pit.
This is one reason why.
At least one student at Harvard University is expressing
outrage over the name of “Incest-Fest,” a hook-up dance to be held at the
university’s famous Kirkland House dormitory this winter.
The event, described in the Kirkland House Wikipedia
entry, is an annual “debaucherous dance open only to [male and female]
members of the house.”
Harvard’s official student newspaper, The Crimson,
also mentions the event in it campus life guide.
“You’ll spend all of Secret Santa week watching underclad
men gyrating in the dining hall and figuring out who you’ll hook up with at
Incest Fest,” it reads. “[H]ouse life is incredibly close-knit, bordering on
downright incestuous.
“But there’s more to Kirkland than raunchy dining hall
skits and regrettable hook-ups,” the paper continues.
Junior Samantha Berstler, who is a resident in the
Kirkland House however, argued in an op-ed in the The Crimson, that the
party’s name is “offensive and insensitive” because incest is no joking
matter.
“The name ‘Incest-Fest’ is not sexy or cute or clever,”
wrote Berstle.
