The purpose of Phillips Brooks House is simple: to Do Good. This mission may seem somewhat naive but there are still students who--old-fashioned enough to believe in the idea of helping others--give to the organization the largest enrollment of any University extra-curricular activity.

It is a most deserved accolade
