Seven Sisters
Elite women's colleges
Seven Sisters names several distinct things united by the number seven.
Most commonly it refers to a group of elite women's colleges in the northeastern United States—Barnard, Bryn Mawr, Mount Holyoke, Radcliffe, Smith, Vassar, and Wellesley—historically seen as counterparts to the Ivy League.
The term also designates a prominent star cluster in Taurus (the Pleiades), a group of chalk cliffs on England's south coast, and historically, the seven major oil companies that dominated the petroleum industry in the mid-twentieth century.
