To the community

As temperatures rise and spring break draws closer, Haverford finds itself in a moment of deep unrest. 

At a time when the warm weather and changing seasons may tempt you to disengage, The Index exhorts you to resist the urge to step away. Now more than ever the community needs you to dive in head first. 

Keep up with your classes and relationships. Exceed expectations. Haverford is at its best when everyone is bought in and abiding by the standards to which we all agree. Haverford is at its worst when people disengage and act in ways that discredit our community. 

It’s crucial to keep having tough conversations and striving for your ideal brotherhood. 

Many of you have found yourselves uncomfortable with the Haverford you see right now. It’s crucial to keep having tough conversations and striving for your ideal brotherhood. 

Whether you are an underclassman readying yourself for end-of-year assessments, a Fifth Former beginning the college process, or a Sixth Former preparing to graduate, The Index encourages you to make the most of your time here and to hold yourself accountable to our determined norms, both when you’re on campus and when you’re not.

To the community: we are at one of those moments that matters. Now is the time, more so than any game, musical, or other event, to prove your love for your school and your brotherhood. Use this spring to unite around and mend the brotherhood.
