Escher Discord Server

The Discord Server is a great place to ask for advice from House members, be informed about events put on by other residents, and talk about anything you want. It's also a place where members sometimes discuss House matters such as proposals.

Current invite link: https://discord.gg/vjc9JmJpXt. It is limited to 100 invites because it is exposed to the internet. Ask a House member to replace the link if it becomes invalid.

Roles

MOD-ASSIGNED ROLES Find these _.

Escherite: If you are currently living at Escher, you will be assigned this role that grants access to all public channels. You will also be assigned a suite-specific role that grants access to your suite's private channel. - Currently living at Escher means literally that. For example, if you are home for the summer and coming back in the Fall, you should have the Alumni role for the summer and can easily reapply for the Escherite role in the Fall. - The purpose of the newly (as of May '23, anyway) private suite channels is to make space for the private discussion of suite-specific concerns. You can still tag all members of a suite in messages in other channels by using the @[suite-name-here] tag. - The purpose of the "new" Escherite role is to create various communication spaces for housemates and housemates only. This is undoubtedly the main purpose of the server itself, and with this role, Escherites can more seamlessly and safely communicate with one another. Escheritus: If you have lived at Escher but are not previously, you will be assigned this role that grants access to several channels that let you stay in touch with the community. Prospective Member: If you have never lived at Escher, you will be assigned this role that grants access to a resources channel and a Q&A channel.
