Do Ivy Schools Accept Writing Portfolios?

I plan to apply to several Ivy's like Brown and Harvard, and I know these schools often accept art portfolios, research papers, and things of that type, but do they accept writing-specific portfolios? I want to major in English/Writing, so I believe it would be important to put forth some of my writing, but any info I've seen only concerns application essays or research projects.

Do Ivy's, or any school, accept writing portfolios? If they do, how should I structure mine? Should I focus more on creative writing or more technical pieces like past scholarship essays and assignments? Any info would be a huge help!
