Oh yes! I forgot Spring and Winter Weekend! During those weekends each house will host it’s own mocktail or cocktail party, which is usually a more formal party and those with significant others typically invite them to come to Smith to attend. A Capella groups invite male a cappella groups from other schools to pair with them and then houses request a pair to perform at their mocktail/cocktail. Then the larger houses will host big all campus parties later on in the evening. Those are organized by your House Council and paid for out of your house dues. On dues: most houses collect dues each semester. Usually like $15-20 that goes towards house events or house trips. For example, the house might use the dues money to go to Six Flags or sometimes even to Quebec or New York. They use them to pay a cappella groups for spring or winter weekend, or to pay for other things for a large house party or to buy things for the house (a Wii system, a ping pong table, board games, whatever the house decides).
