The Seven Sisters is the name which was given in 1927 to seven liberal arts women's colleges in the United States (the colleges, themselves, were all founded between 1837-1889). The colleges included Barnard, Bryn Mawr, Mount Holyoke, Radcliffe, Smith, Vassar and Wellesley. Five of the seven remain women's colleges today and only one (Radcliffe, which merged into Harvard) no longer exists.
Mount Holyoke, Smith College, Bryn Mawr College, and Wellesley College are still women's colleges. Barnard College is still affiliated with Columbia University but remains an independent women's college.
Irene Harwarth, Mindi Maline, and Elizabeth DeBra also state that "the 'Seven Sisters' was the name given to Barnard, Smith, Mount Holyoke, Vassar, Bryn Mawr, Wellesley, and Radcliffe, because of their parallel to the Ivy League men’s colleges.

Get the Seven Dollar Smackdown mug.The best game in the world, closely followed by Rugby Union and League.
Incredibly fast paced, creative game. Basically 7 a side Rugby Union but the main objective is possession, not territory.
It is played on a full-sized pitch, but with only 7 players on each team. Therefore there is a lot more space and the game is about throwing the ball around to someone with a 1 on 1(every 7s player can easily take advantage of that situation) who then steps, runs and scores
If you like football more than rugby, firstly you are a pussy -wank -bucket -anal -juice -licking -batty -head -amateur, but if you watch a 7s tournament on ITV2 see if you don't change your mind.
