there are no sororities/fraternities on the Harvard campus recognized by the school administration; that is not the same thing as there not being any sororities/fraternities (ps: there are)

They're the not-so-secret clubs at Harvard that rich kids belong to. They play essentially the same role as frats.

I don't know exactly what's happening on campus now but during the early/mid 90s, there was definite frat/soro presence, particularly black fraternities and sororities (and, lol, Sigma Xi, who seemed to be a lot more about throwing parties than scientific research). There was a lot of partnering with MIT chapters as a result.
At least a quarter of the black students I knew in the Quad were in a frat.

A new store in Manhattan's trendy East Village neighborhood is selling New York City filtered tap water back to city residents. For a few extra dollars customers can add vitamins and herbal infusions to their filtered water.
Not just any tap water, insist the owners of Molecule. They say the water streams through a $25,000 filtering machine that uses ultraviolet rays, ozone treatments and reverse osmosis in a seven-stage processing treatment to create what they call pure H<sub>2</sub>0.

To counteract critics, Molecule is planning a weekly naming ceremony to imbue its water with personality and Sunday blessings involving religious figures from all faiths, including Tibetan monks and pagan worshipers.

Upstairs, a D.J. who resembled Jesus Christ played dub reggae, and when the sun crept below the jaw-dropping Manhattan skyline, it seemed to activate everyone’s internal Instagram clock. A sea of iPhones shot up to capture the blazing pink hues (#nofilter), as if the singer Grimes had just made a surprise appearance at a Skrillex concert.

Since Wythe refuses to do bottle service, determined drinkers (including a group of Swedes who kept barking orders for rosé wine) were forced to bring their own ice buckets to the outdoor tables. This is what passes for V.I.P. in the land of D.I.Y.

How can anyone who writes about New York City for a living still refer to waterfront Williamsburg as "the land of D.I.Y."? You might as well call the West Village "the land of folkies."
