Membership
Chimera membership consists of a small number of senior men and women who are selected in their junior year through a college-wide process known as "tapping".[5] Every year in the winter and spring academic terms, juniors are tapped for Chimera and other senior societies through a process semi-coordinated by the college.[5]
