@Anonymous Katie Lupica definitely deserves to be here–had a class with her and she was wonderful. Congrats Katie!
@Anonymous Annie Minoff is a genius and a sweetheart, best of both worlds. :)
@Annieeee is so great!!!
@ValeDICtorian? I hear Sam Frank has above a 4.0–and I’m not just talking about his GPA…
@last time i checked 4.0 is below average? and i’m not talking about gpa either.
@Bradley Collins is legit.
@Anonymous are international students (i.e non citizens of the US) not eligible?
@Anonymous of course they are.
@Dasha Wise! HARVARD BOUND ANNND PBK
you make me proud :]
@yay JASON!
@Death's Door 2 ANNA!!!!!!!
@Sam Frank isn’t he that weirdo who is always trying to freestyle?
@Dear Katie Lupica, you make MY heart go pitter-pat. Congrats!
@Even though two-thirds of this list is made up of totally socially anonymous people, clearly it does not matter, because they’ve accomplished a lot more so far than I have. Congrats to all, socially inactive or not
@Anonymous why do you think academic achievement is the only kind of accomplishment there is?
@Anonymous ^ chill out, can’t you just let people self-deprecate
@Anonymous 2/20 are JJ10. Weird.
@KATIE LUPICA! Katie is awesome! I’m really excited for her production of The Saint Plays! If her performance in The Physicists and her direction of The Love Story of Myrtle Willougby etc. are any indication it should be amazing!
@So I guess this one won’t be working for Goldman?
@Anonymous what about the Barnard inductees? I know at least one person who was…
@sorry this is going to sound mean but it really isn’t that hard to get phk at barnard. half of columbia would be on that list
@Joanna's last name, is wang
@Anonymous Congrats to all
@Anonymous jason is a balllllleeerrrr
@Anonymous Jason is a badassssss
@when are the rest released?
@Anonymous and what about seas?
@Anonymous unlike engineers at stanford, princeton, harvard, yale and even MIT, seas kids are not eligible for phi beta kappa. something to do with not having enough of a liberal arts background…
@Anonymous for seas there’s tau beta pi…
@this is proof bwog is a liberal arts blog. where are the tau beta pi folks? huh?
@I knew that Stephan Blair was destined for greatness ever since I saw him read his wonderfully horrible poem at the Bad Poetry Competition in 2008.
@Anonymous Jenny! You are incredible, congrats!
@SAM FRANK DA MAN
@Anonymous Congratulations, Emma!
@Yah! Emma — she’s the real shit. And so nice!
@yay Greg Cox!
@Anonymous Does anyone notice that there aren’t too many asians on the list?
@uhh 4/20 are asian, which is basically representative to over-representative of the campus proportion.
@it's because this doesn’t include SEAS kids. if it did, it’d be a whole different story.
@uhhh i don’t see any blacks or hispanics on this list. GPA = racist?
@No one from the Indian subcontinent.
@CC 13 So are these the kids who get to work at Goldman? Or do we have to wait for “Columbia’s 50 Most Beautiful” to come out?
@Anonymous Well Jason Pflueger I know is going to grad school. No finance shit for chem majors :)
@James Dawson WHAT A HUNK.
@interesting james is the only poli sci kid on this list
@THE REAL ISSUE HERE The real issue here is that I have found Stephan Vincenzo, he is clearly in this youtube video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qDg9Cr_GJA
He has clearly run away to join the circus
@Ahahaha It IS him!! You’ve made my otherwise insanely boring Wednesday night!!
@the real question is why were you watching cirque du soleil videos on youtube? i mean, i too love men in high-waisted pants, suspenders, and no shirts, but it seems a little early in the semester for this kind of youtube abuse.
however, stephan vincenzo looks fannnnnnnnntastic.
@THE REAL ISSUE HERE somebody sent me a video and this video was on the sidebar. i got curious!
@I believe that the circus act is a front and that he just expanded into the illegal steroids market
@One of the plebs Brad Collins! Joanna Wang!
This year’s crop seems pretty high in cool, generally all-around awesome folks. Congrats!
@I lol'd at this comment
@senior uhh who are these ppl never heard of them before.
@that's because they spend all their time locked up in their rooms/in butler studying
@Actually That’s because you don’t hang with the cool kids.
@Anonymous Bwog,
This is so boring. Last semester I read you everyday, and I was studying abroad! Now, I’m back on campus where things should be hyper-relevant and exciting. Instead, your news seems less newsworthy. Your fun asides are no longer silly tid-bits that I would tell my friends over the course of the day. I mean, I won’t even go into the complete lack of snark and wry humor that used to color even the most insignificant posts. All I can say is C’MON!! (You’ve probably even forgotten all about the classic Arrested Development lines we used to love…)
Sincerely,
Yearning for the Good Ole Days
@Hooah As a longtime loyalist, I’m afraid I have to agree. Hopefully it’s just early semester/transition hiccups. But I’m hoping for a bit more, Bwog. Still love you.
@Anonymous Bwog posts the early PBK list every year.
@!! katie lupica! i met her through ra stuff, what a doll. congrats katie!!!!!!
@Anonymous wow katie lupica is actually a bia***. No wonder why, always in her room and lacking social interaction.
@Woah I don’t know how anyone who knows Katie at all could write that. She’s awesome. Not to mention ridiculously involved — no idea, actually, when she has time to get those grades. Don’t worry about the haters, girl.
@CC2011 uhhhhhh i have a 3.99 and didnt get? wtf?
@Anonymous Wow you’re a nerd
@Anonymous You have to be nominated. Maybe your teachers hate you?
@also, while it’s not technically a requirement, the vast majority of early pbk people have well above a 4.0…
@Ummm not true. I know a few of the recipients and their records weren’t flawless. There are other factors in addition to GPA which determine PBK.
