5. Denbigh Second
The ninties are all that on Denbigh second. Two super-fly things on this floor are a colorful Tomogotchi and giant paper Gameboy, made by customsperson Isabel Plakas. Shoutouts to Denbigh first and third, which have Legally Blond and dragons respectively!
4. Radnor third (and fourth)
“National parks” is not a very traditional hall theme, but it really comes together on Radnor third.
3. Rock 1st 2nd
HA Cassie Paul said the dog theme had seemed like the obvious choice. “I picked dogs because I have a dog,” she told the Odyssey. Cassie's dog, Charley, even has her own paper dopelgänger. Bonus points for coordinating with Rock 1st 1st, whose theme this year is cats.
2. Erdman third (in Merion)
HA Abbey thought it would be really funny if the theme was another dorm. Since Erdman had the most recognizable aesthetic, she and her customspeople dug in, making the charactaristic Erdman wall holes out of paper, and hanging up pictures of Erdman chairs, and Louis Kahn, Erdman's architect. There are even some sparkly black bugs on the wall, in a clever nod to Erdman's cockroach problem. The nametags on the door feature Erdman's distinctive blueprint.
1. Pem East second
HA Maggie Alvarez said the idea came to them in pieces. First they had wanted to do space. And they knew they wanted to incorporate dinosaurs, since Pem East second had dinosaurs last year. They also wanted to incorporate Drake into the floor to make it truly unique. "It started off as ironic," Maggie said of their love Drake, "but then it became unironic." The floor is peppered with hanging stars, print-outs of Things Drake Do tweets and Drake-related memes, and even a blow-up T-rex. This hall is truly an instant classic!
