You asked, and we delivered. Here is our official ranking of all of the fraternities on campus.

Next on our Barnard Housing Review tour is 110, or sometimes called College Residence (both very innovative, creative names). Many people say Cathedral Gardens is the dorm to live in if you’re looking for a grown-up experience, but often fail to mention 110. With its own distance from campus, non-college habitants, and residents’ privileges to buzz up […]

We know you’ve all thought it. Which dorm your current hookup lives in says a lot about his relative sadboy- or fuckboy-ness. Whether he’s a Carman athlete, a Furnald poet, or a Wein loner, the stereotypes hold true more often than not. After all, what’s a stereotype without a little bit of truth? Read on for […]

616 is the Goldilocks of the 600’s; not all doubles, not all singles, not too close to Broadway, but not too far either. If you’re looking for a crowd-pleaser, 616 might be your best bet. Location: 616 W 116th St, basically at the intersection of 116th and Claremont. Nearby Dorms: 600, 620, Claremont, Elliot, Barnard Quad, Schapiro, […]

Happening in the World: An attacker in London on Wednesday killed four individuals and injured at least 40 others in what appears to be an attack on London’s parliament. Happening in NYC: A new report has found that the city of New York is capable of reducing homelessness far more than it currently is. The report found that […]

If the fraternities of Columbia were in Dante’s Inferno, what circles of Hell would they be in? Bwog has all the answers. Beta Theta Pi: Honestly, Beta represents all of Hell: the quote above the door of the Beta house itself is the inscription over the gates of hell. But realistically, they’re in the Eighth Circle […]

Our next housing review is for one of Barnard’s most conveniently located dorms (for students, but also for mice). Hardwood floors and detailed walls lend it more charm than its linoleum-floored counterparts. 600 is the community suiteheart (haha), bringing people closer together (good luck getting a single) with large suites and a pretty face.  Location: 600 W […]

Find out what’s new in this week’s GSSC with bureau chief Romane Thomas. Last night, General Studies Student Council got bwog pumped up about the GS Gala, swipe access and mental health initiatives. President Larosa started out by announcing that registrations for the upcoming elections were closed and that a mandatory rules meeting will take […]

Happening in the world: North Korea tried to launch a missile…and failed. A North Korean missile fired on Wednesday morning (local time) exploded seconds after the launch. With North Korea having made clear its ambitions to develop missiles that can reach the US mainland, this (frankly unsurprising) failure is a reassuring result for South Korea, US, and […]

For this round of housing reviews, we take you back to your earliest Barnard days in the quad. Remember how fantastic it felt to have AC if you were in Sulz your first year? It’s like that, but better. Location: The Barnard Quad, 3009 Broadway Nearby dorms: The rest of the Quad (Hewitt, Reid, Brooks, […]

Location: 217 Manhattan Ave Nearby Dorms: None. CG is basically sandwiched between two beautiful parks: Morningside Park and Central Park. Stores and Restaurants: A lot […]

This week, Barnard’s SGA continued on its group outreach mission. At last night’s Rep Council meeting, SGA welcomed representatives from the Columbia Muslim Students Organization (MSA) to discuss their goals, concerns, and what SGA can do for them. Turns out, they can’t do much. MSA president Faizan Kothari and senior advisor Fatima Koli explained to […]

In a press conference this morning, she and her lawyer, Alex Zalkin, described Columbia’s inaction and mishandling of a Gender-Based Misconduct complaint she filed last year.
