What is the Souphouse?

This is the second time that I'm going to be living off campus, the first time being my freshman year at Western (remember?). I recently had to write a description of the Souphouse for our freshman orientation. Here it is:

The Souphouse is comprised of a group of internationally minded men who run a home that is open to everyone. The house is set up in a way that people can feel free to come over whenever they feel like, whether it is to watch a movie, drink tea, talk, or even do homework.

We want to emphasize our desire for you to come and participate in the community that forms in our living room. Don’t feel shy; even if there is no one here, you are more than welcome to make yourself feel at home.

The Souphouse is a Taylor tradition that has endured and expanded over the years. Mu Kappa and ISS both host events at the Souphouse, making it a flavorful spicy stew of fun and vibrant invigorating conversation.

The goal of the Souphouse is to provide a relaxing place to foster the international community and invite others to visit and partake of the multi-cultural love.

We’re waiting for you!
