Seneca Club Growth Signals Social Shift

All-female club fills void left by Radcliffe merger

Seru gestures as she articulates her point.

This team has big plans.

The group recently launched a website, www.theseneca.org, and hopes to make it a gathering place where campus women's groups can post announcements and share information. Counseling groups such as Eating Concerns Hotline and Outreach (ECHO) have linked their websites to the page, as has RUS and the Delta Gamma sorority.

But the Seneca's current goal, Butler and Seru agree, is for the group to find a place of its own.

While the ultimate prize would be a permanent house--for which the Seneca has launched a $1 million capital campaign--the Seneca is trying to rent an apartment in the Harvard vicinity for next year.

But more than just a club house, Butler and Seru envision making the space available to women's groups across campus, a "pseudo-women's center."

"We would like to create a women's center, kind of like a student center, where groups could sign out space," Seru says.

"We could give office space to groups who might need it, rooms could be signed out," Butler says. "We'd have open events and host parties there."
