The exact rules are set when it is done, but you are not required to speak French when inside someone's room. Tower of Babel Party Not really a French House tradition but one of the Language Houses. Sometimes an actual tower is built. Dner de Noel Near the end of the first term, the Dner de Noel is held. This is a big dinner to which house alumni are invited.
People dress nicely.
For two weeks before the Dner de Noel, house members can be Secret Santas. This is a recent tradition. A few members of the house organize a role-playing murder mystery which takes place in the house over the course of a few hours. Everyone who wants to participate is given a character to play, Assassin's Guild style. International Fair Usually French House has a entry in the International Fair, an event which takes place toward the end of the second term.
