What Is the Ivy That Appears Most Often in the NYT’s Wedding Pages?

IT IS COLUMBIA. Roar, Lion, roar!

Today on Daily Intel, we learned that there is a new website that makes the last 3,981 wedding announcements in the Times and made them into a database. Columbia has been mentioned 615 times. Browse and see if your TA married your other TA! Harvard had only 466 and Yale- Yale!- only 278! MIT is mentioned 663 times (shhh).

That means that a huge chunk of the important/rich/highly-aggressive people who get their wedding announcements in the Sunday Times are your fellow Columbians. Perhaps we spoke too soon against Floorcest.

Update: A commenter points out that “Columbia” also overlaps with British Columbia, and probably some other things mentioned in wedding announcements that aren’t actually about Columbia the school. Bwog remains certain that we beat Harvard, however.

How not to piss off your RA

For all you needy first-years that want to get in with your R.A., heed the words of Resident Advisor alumnus Zachary Bendiner. Or be damned!

ratips Ahoy, nubile class of 2010 !

As you endure the harrowing pop of your collegiate cherry, remember that you are never alone. When you are blubbering over your B+ on a University Writing paper, He shall be there. When you are trying to convince your roommate not to have sex in the shower, He shall be there. And when you are throwing lame parties in Carman, He shall be there—to bust your ass.

Yes, in many ways, your Resident Advisor is midwife to your college glories—the placenta in this case having abnormally high blood-alcohol-content. But unlike most midwives, an RA often wields his power like a billy club—ruining first-years’ hopes of drunken revelry. It need not be so. But how does the lowly first-year endear himself to this all-powerful, omniscient creature known as the Resident Advisor?

DO address him as the Egyptian sun god “Ra.”

DO use sexually and racially charged language. Like “Canuck” or “honey-buns.” After a day devoted to awkward and insulting diversity training, every RA rejoices in employing his newfound expertise.

DO keep your RA abreast of floorcest developments. This shall be one of his bitter-sweet joys, as living in first-year housing inevitably destroys an RA’s sex life. “Hey baaaaaby…wanna come back to my room? Yeah, that’s right, I gots a single—in Carman. Oh yeeeaaaah. [pelvic thrust] Wait, where are you going? Come back! Please?”

DO eat healthily. RAs respect a diet rich in roughage and exotic fruits.

“Don’ts” after the jump… Read more…
