A BIT OF HARPER HISTORY
Well… Harper Hall was built in 1965 (but don’t worry it’s been updated since then) and was originally an all-girls residence but was converted to a co-ed residence in 1976. It was one of the first to become co-ed following the prank war of 76 between Bennett and Hunton. We are two time residence of the year winner and we are determined to win again! Other than that, what happens in Harper Stays in Harper!
