yes, like most business schools, HBS is ultra-diverse, and there are countless cultures and sub-cultures in the community that vie for student and faculty mind-share every week. some of your best experiences here will be when you take part in activities and cultures that you weren't as familiar with before you go to b school - or maybe you were, but just didn't have time to fully engage in it (due to work, etc).
one of the best things that our section did in my RC year was rally together to support our mates at the cultural shows sponsored by SABA (South Asian Business Association) and the African American Students Association at HBS. Saba's show is called EKTA, and features songs/dances of South Asia - bhangra, bollywood, fusion, a capella. AASU's show is called Sankofa, and features cultural pieces from all over Africa. Both clubs go all out - emcees, different themes every year. All in, these were some of the most captivating experiences for me and my section - we supported our sectionmates who were performing, sitting close together in Burden Auditorium can be quite a bonding experience - but whatever you do, just make sure you pre-game before the show, it makes it more enjoyable. both clubs also do a great job of hosting AMAZING afterparties in downtown Boston, so be sure to check out Ekta and Sankofa while you're at HBS !
