The campus' two newest social organizations may not have houses to call their own, but the Delta Upsilon (D.U.) fraternity and the all-female Seneca club are ready to party.

Both groups, created last semester in the wake of restricted guest policies

at some of Harvard's eight all-male final clubs, are now recruiting new members and planning inaugural events.

And the Seneca is thinking long-term as well, with club officials saying they eventually hope to convince the final clubs to accept female members.

"We're interested in seeing how they feel about going co-ed and what time frame they see for that happening," said Seneca Co-President Kirstin E. Butler '01, who is planning lunches with officers from each of the final clubs.

For the moment, though, Butler said the Seneca hopes to distance itself from the invitation-only punch process that characterizes final club recruiting.

Instead, the women's club plans on postering in the Houses and door-dropping applications to women who attended their barbecue at Lowell House last spring. They will also solicit members through organizations such as the Black Students Association and the Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian, Transgender and Supporters' Alliance.

"We want to have as big an interest pool as possible," Butler said.

Butler and Co-President Alexandra B. Seru '01 said the club will attempt to clear up any misconceptions about its purpose during introductory meetings Oct 5. and 7.
