# HoCo ## expand\_more House Committee (affectionately dubbed HoCo) is a forum for discussion and functions specifically as the recognized clearing house for organizing a range of House activities. In this way, it can substantially influence the quality of House life and may effectively convey House sentiment to other University bodies. HoCo is a body of elected officers, class representatives, and tutors responsible for all Leverett events, from the Spring Formal to Rising Hare Frolics and everything in between. We mix drinks at the Harvard-Yale tailgate and drop beats at the Blackout Dance with equally reckless abandon. Want to join HoCo? Elections are held during winter reading period, and officers are elected for one-year terms. Don't want to join HoCo? That's crazy talk. To email all of us at once, write to . --- ![Raina Wang](/sites/g/files/omnuum3146/files/2026-04/1Screenshot%202026-04-04%20202255.png) **Raina Wang: Co-Chair** Raina is a sophomore ('28) studying History and Science and Philosophy.

If not at Leverett, you can find Milena choreographing Eleganza, or just dancing on a table somewhere. One of her nicknames as a baby was *bunny*, and her first role at Harvard was a Playboy bunny, so Leverett was her destiny! <3 --- ![Jacob Friedman: Outings and Social Chair](/sites/g/files/omnuum3146/files/2026-04/8Screenshot%202026-04-04%20203511.png) **Jacob Friedman: Outings and Social Chair** Jacob is a sophomore (‘28) studying Human Developmental and Regenerative Biology and ESPP.
