According to multiple sources, next year’s freshmen will get a break–the Panhellenic council has voted to phase out first-year fall rush, since the new girls don’t have time to get used to school and see what greek life is about before signing into sisterhood. In 2007, only sophomores will be allowed to rush in the fall, and the year after all recruitment will occur in spring, giving potential pledges a full semester to talk themselves out of joining.
Meanwhile, on the other end of our college careers, today marks the beginning of E-commerce for senior week [Correction: Senior week proper starts May 10], complete with a website that seems to actually include a grey silhouette of a naked woman and a bolder silhouette in the foreground of a guy smoking. Almost as bizarrely, the 14-person senior week committee includes six Barnard girls, five SEAS kids, and three CC students.
Anyhow, hooray for 2007. Six Flags awaits you!

@ann coulter was a DG….once that gets out their numbers will fall. AXO will become the hot frat.
@Clogged toilets! Ahh RUSH… the sound of springtime flushes, the smell of puke in the air
@I'd do her (female silhouette)
@inflation? why are senior ball tickets so criminally expensive?
i mean, 90 dollars? is there a discount for the soon-to-be unemployed?
@none of the above Lay the freshwomen!
@aaaarh I HATE THE YANKEES
@some of DGs hotter girls are tanning on the lawn and man am i enjoying the view!
@dg? really? These people?

Really? Not that they’re particularly attractive or unattractive, it’s just an average sampling of Columbia/Barnard girls, which I’ve found to be the case with all the sororities. They’re about equally attractive IMO.
@wtf Okay, today is not the beginning of Senior Week. Senior Week starts May 10th and goes to May 14th, as it says on the website, which as another commenter pointed out is in the theme of James Bond (007). I would also perhaps interpret the smoke as a smoking gun and not a cigarette.
@oh no TOOO SOOOOOON
@either that or people just get their friends involved.
@Bad idea The sororities may rue the day they made this decision. Bwog is right, this will likely just cause girls to talk themselves out of pledging.
@not so much i mean even if you’re right, then all they have to do is start rush in the fall the next year. problem solved.
@Yeah, but Even a year of no/few new members can be crippling to a greek organization.
@truth really to any organization.
Long live Jester!
@Will this be the year that AXO finally meets its long-deserved demise?
@Why Why do they deserve to fall?
@You know Because they’re ugly.
@Right And there are ugly girls in every sorority. DG is really the only one that can claim to have a significant number of attractive members.
@i dont know how to explain the SEAS and CC misproportions other than SEAS kids generally seem to have a greater sense of involvement maybe? (see ESC > CCSC) but the reason so many Barnard students are there is probably to practice for life after graduation. Marry rich and then serve on the boards and committees of meaningless cultural and “philanthropic” organizations. Columbia really does train you for life after graduation. Even if you go to the not as great school across the street from it.
@hmm or perhaps barnard actually has a thriving community and barnard students want to give back to this community.
@Not so bizarre The theme is “From Columbia With Love.” The silhouette’s are supposed to be like James Bond movie posters, etc.
@seriously? Not so bizarre, just totally lame
