Seven Sisters

November 28th, 2007 by Paul

Another set of terms to your repertoire of college nick names. You should already know the Little Ivies, 25 New Ivy League, and a handful of others.

I think wikipedia puts it best:

The Seven Sisters are seven historically women’s liberal-arts colleges in the Northeastern United States. They are Barnard College, Bryn Mawr College, Mount Holyoke College, Radcliffe College, Smith College, Wellesley College, and Vassar College. They were all founded between 1837 and 1889. Four are in Massachusetts, two are in New York, and one is in Pennsylvania. Radcliffe (which merged with Harvard College) and Vassar (which became coeducational in 1969) are no longer women’s colleges.
