New women are assigned a “big sister” to help adjust to college life and learn long-held Miller traditions such as the annual Alumni Tea, the “Joe’s Place” party (started in the 1930s), Miller-Watkins Tribute Night, and a “Murder Mystery Dinner.” As in Watkins, monthly kitchen fees are determined by residents who are each assigned to one of seven small kitchens.
