Giving the Houses First Names

Yeah, the houses all have names, but they’re so formal. Why am I calling my TF who holds my entire GPA in their hands by their first name, but the building that literally just exists so 18-22 year olds can live in it by a fancy last name? Luckily, Flyby has rectified this. Here are the names we decided each house deserves.

Lowell: Catherine, Cathy for short

We thought the C-spelling Catherines needed some representation.

Quincy: Terry, short for Terrence

It just felt right.

Adams: Adam (and Steve)

Steve is the Inn. (Oaktel, if you’re one of those people.)

Winthrop: Chad

This one was unanimous.

Eliot: Elliott

What if we made the most pretentious house just a little more so?

Kirkland: Brittany

“Cause she’s so crazy, you can’t take her anywhere.”

Cabot: Carleigh

She’s just a little quirky like that.

Currier: Dianne

Classy ‘70’s vibes.

Pfoho: Phyllis

You can’t tell us you disagree with this one.

Dunster: Will but it’s short for Wilhelm III

It seems normal but is secretly very fancy.

Mather: Dale, short for Fort Lauderdale

Mather has a bit of a militaristic vibe, and so does Dale.

Leverett: Kyle

Ok, we know a Kyle in Leverett. But isn’t every person in Leverett, in a way, Kyle?
