Activities

Life is always lively at Lowell House, with plenty of activities to choose from. So, get involved, meet other students outside your rooming group and have fun! Listed below are some of the organized House activities; we also have a listing of the facilities for hobbies, entertainment and sports in the House.

The Film Society has revived in recent years, and shows movies throughout the year. Contact Regine Joseph (rjoseph@fas) for more information about movie showings or how you can get involved.

The House Committee organizes a variety of activities, parties, study breaks, and special events throughout the year for House residents. It also represents undergraduate students, the members of the JCR, to the House Masters and administration.

Intramural sports are perennially popular at Lowell, and now we’re even winning! There are a wide variety of sports, and participants of all skill levels and none are welcome: the most important competition, for the Strauss Cup, is based on the level of participation by each of the Houses. So keep and eye out for notices on the bulletin boards and in the Newsletter, or contact the athletic secretaries of the House Committee: IM Reps:Joe Lin, Katrina Welch, and Brian Kaufman.

Under Cambridge city ordinances and Harvard regulations, the new Russian bells at the top of the Lowell House bell tower must be tolled between 1:00 and 1:15 p.m. every Sunday (and on other special occasions, such as the annual performance of the 1812 Overture in the courtyard). The people entrusted with this task are the Klappermeisters, but you are welcome to climb to the top of the tower and help them ring the bells any Sunday. To become a Klappermeister, you must be selected by one of the current holders of this prestigious office! Visit the Lowell House Bells page for more information.
