We’re going to the chapel, we’re gonna...sing on the steps and meet upperclasswomen who will help us transition to Wellesley? Home to Wellesley traditions, like Flower Sunday and Stepsinging, and the Multifaith Center.

Traditions
Houghton Memorial Chapel and Multifaith Center
They make Wellesley, Wellesley. And they make you feel a part of something bigger than yourself. Here are a few examples…
The oldest and most beloved, where bigs meet littles in a multifaith, multicultural celebration featuring dance, poetry, song, moving speeches, tight hugs, etc., etc.
This one’s simple: Roll a hoop. Win the race. Get tossed into Lake Waban.
The singing of songs and the cheering of cheers...on steps. Ahhh, inter-class rivalry at its finest.
Wellesley students, the Boston Marathon, and a quarter mile long scream tunnel heard over a mile away.
Gracefully serene and open to all faiths. With sacred spaces for Wellesley’s religious, spiritual, and secular communities, which include, but are not even close to limited to, Baha’i, Buddhist, Christian (of many sects), Hindu, Humanist, Jewish, Muslim, Native American, and Sikh.
