Section B Personality
Laid back and no drama from day one, however the irony is that pretty much everyone is President of some club (perhaps this is an indication that HBS has too many positions.but we like to think otherwise).
Mascot
-Due to our laid back nature we never really decided, however several come to mind: Bees,
-Grupo Bimbo and wooden letter B that is blue and sits in the front of the classroom.
Mantra
-Best of the Best, King of Sections, Let it “B”
Traditions
-When a professor asks for a volunteer we all yell “Joe”
-When Professor Rose finishes each day of LCA he says “Fantastic discussion, as usual.”
-When things get really hairy we solve it with a dance-off.
Craziest Skydeck
-Cheer Camp (for those not being heard by all)
-The introduction of Abadi corner and the fear and awkwardness that follows
-Lauren and Lakshmi throwing out the power point in a valiant attempt at standup
-Jazzmin jumping on Carter’s lap
Section Cheer
-“B” Aggressive or simply “Speak Louder”
Best Class Moments
-Joe reading out prospective names and University mascots

-Jeff Taylor of Monster tearing apart people and their comments, in that order.

Quirk
-a tremendous amount of Britney fans
-Carter and Matvey, perhaps our quirkiest characters
