  Spend your Sunday afternoon enjoying casual mixed doubles, chatting at the pavilion, and meeting new people—with a private post-event matchmaker to make the follow-up effortless.

  This event is open to all-Ivy+ schools! 

  How It Works:

  • The Play: 15-20 minutes mixed doubles rotations. All levels welcome—whether you're an advanced player or "dangerously average." Paddles are provided!
  •  The Social: Hang out at the pavilion between games. We will provide non-alcoholic drinks and snacks, along with a low-pressure rotation of icebreakers and conversation prompts set up to make striking up a chat easy and fun.
  •  The Matchmaker: Zero on-court pressure. After the event, you’ll receive a private form to discreetly select anyone you vibed with. If there’s a mutual match, we’ll make the email introduction the next day.
