Harkness Party

The parties hosted by Harkness are varied and in their themes but are generally known for being wild and attracting a large number of students, as well and Safety and Security officers. The house hosts several parties every year, and the festivities often include any of the various Oberlin campus bands, as well as some traveling bands, DJs, kegs, DDR, dance music, and/or just generally creating noise and mess. Parties are held for certain special occasions and can comprise a variety of themes, with a "wear-anything-but clothes" party held several years ago and a Communist-themed party held in the Fall of 2007.
