Flower Sunday

  • Social Life
Four women smiling and holding flowers.

The giving of flowers! The pairing of “bigs” and “littles”! The oldest tradition at Wellesley!

On a Sunday in September, the Wellesley community gathers in Houghton Chapel for a multifaith ceremony, then bonds over brunch (yum!), after which bigs give flowers to their newly designated littles. We’re talking an unbroken chain direct from 1875 to now! So get ready to take a moment to relax and smell the roses—literally!
