ParaSect
Welcome, potential Seekers. We’re pleased that you’ve found your way to this placement space. We hope that the following information will help you find the P.S. group that is right for you. P.S. is a society that started in 1896 on the University of Chicago campus. We exist to protect the parasite, which we believe will make the world a better place.
Participating in each of the groups offers unique opportunities for focused learning about the secrets of the University of Chicago and for extending the impact of the parasite.
All of the UChicago houses have proud histories of Squirrel, Serpent, and Owl contributions to both the study of the parasite and the university community, at large.

Squirrels: Squirrels are known for their capacity for collaboration, creative expression, digital media production, and performance. Arguably, the Squirrels have most contributed to P.S.’s understanding of the parasite by provoking responses and transformations in its composition. Squirrels who are University of Chicago students most commonly lean toward fields such as computer science, entrepreneurship, film studies, media studies, music, performance studies, theoretical mathematics, and visual arts. #parasect #PS🐿️
Owls: Owls are known for their adherence to the scientific method, diligent hypothesis testing, and rigorous experimentation. Arguably, the Owls have most contributed to P.S.’s understanding of the parasite by accumulating expert knowledge about its physical qualities. Owls who are University of Chicago students most commonly lean toward fields such as biology, chemistry, economics, geophysical sciences, neuroscience, and sociology. #parasect #PS🦉
Serpents: Serpents are known for their capacity for close reading, archival research, and theoretical analysis. Arguably, the Serpents have most contributed P.S.’s understanding of the parasite by chronicling its past and critically interpreting its various manifestations. Serpents who are University of Chicago students most commonly lean toward fields such as anthropology, art history, literary studies, philosophy, and physics. #parasect #PS🐍
