MIT mathematicians, along with the help of the Burke Parent Association, Monica, Coach McQ, JD, Brendan, students, current and new parents, recently came up with a new equation to define community:
A little food + some laughs + some talk x (a lot of soccer, bowling, handball, etc.) = Welcome to Burke! (factorial)
Represented graphically, it works out thusly (lots more photos at BurkePix!):

A little food PLUS

Some laughs PLUS

Some talk TIMES the sum of

a lot of soccer (face off) PLUS

a lot of bowling PLUS

balletball? PLUS

Etc.... EQUALS
