"It didn't strike me that I needed something like the Seneca until my sophomore year," Seru said.
Seru and Butler said the Seneca expects about 200 applicants for the 40 or so spots.
But for women who do not get into the club, Seru and Butler said they will help them in any way they can to set up their own clubs.
"It's an inconvenience that we have to keep it small," Seru said. "We are trying to set up a network for women at Harvard because that's our ultimate goal."
Seru said that she anticipates the Seneca will need a space of its own by next year, although that could be a temporary location like an apartment.
Without a house, both groups are trying to come up with creative places to hold activities.
One of the Seneca's application events will be an outdoor scavenger hunt, and the club plans on renting the Advocate building for other functions.
