...a way to find Ephs in your area to play with
...a forum for expressing ideas and opinions, Williams-related or otherwise
...a way to re-connect with classmates
...a way to find a job or roommate
...a way to tell other Ephs about yourself (and find out about other Ephs)
Just try it. The goal is to be one big online community, and facilitate a lot of little real-life communities wherever Ephs abide. Membership is limited to Williams alumni and their invited friends.
Yeah, you know, if someone who didn't go to Williams has a big sad face because they're feeling left out because *all* their friends are using EphTown to plan soccer games, feel free to invite them. Or maybe you think a certain professor would be a good addition to the forums. Stuff like that. We're trying to be open here.
You need an invitation. Or a reference. If you know someone with an account, you can ask them, or type their name where it says "Name of Reference" on the login page.
"I really like the idea that you can invite people to dinner who live in your city! it's like the grad (and post-Baxter... sigh) version of going into Baxter mailroom in search of someone to eat lunch with."
"I like how easy it is to ask people to do things... just click the button and bam, you have a date."
"I fucking LOVE EphTown!"
"How can I not call this home?"
