Everyone/many people have heard about weird porn in Butler. Our legacy, ladies and gentlemen. (NY Daily News, NY Observer, HuffPo, NY Mag) School of Public Health recently conducted a study suggesting that happier people may be likelier to have safer sex. Granted, the experiment was conducted purely on sexually active, HIV-positive men so it may […]

In which we present another preview from the upcoming edition of The Blue and White, coming to campus soon. Jen Sluka, CC ’17, brings us this report on Columbia’s investment into fossil fuels and the student groups working to divest. For other news on divestment, see here. Since Barnard Columbia Divest for Climate Justice (BCD) was […]

Were we ever this embarrassing? Yeah, okay, maybe. Still, it’s our turn to laugh now. Here are the worst of the Class of 2018 early decision Facebook intro posts. Read ’em and weep, folks. Prefrosh: We don’t really hate you. And actually, the class before you accidentally uploaded a ton of their admissions essays to […]

Columbia is now accepting applications for students to form a new Special Interest Community house.  So if you’re feeling premature in your panic about housing and have a Columbia-recognized student group you think would be perfect to fill the 1st floor of River (1 double and 7 singles),  you should check out the online application. […]

It’s your 8:40 a.m. English seminar. Within the first three minutes it’s become abundantly clear that you are far from the only person to have maybe lightly skimmed the reading, and you just cannot bring yourself to deal with/listen to/humor this shit. For your viewing pleasure, we bring you the only way to stay awake/alive […]

Deantini’s love of Bwog contests knows no bounds. In a recent meeting, he told us that Columbia College is trying to step up its social media game and desperately needs a witty hashtag for Twitter and Instagram. “I’ve been wracking my brain, losing sleep for weeks, but I just can’t think of a good CC-related […]

Recorder has 4 folders named A, B,C,D on the menu, but only A and B have recordings on it. If found in Schermerhorn or SIPA, please return to madelineoppenheim@gmail.com

In an attempt to bring pictures that aren’t from Shutterstock or Wikimedia Commons Actual Photography, we sent Features Editor Alexander Pines into the snow to document yesterday’s snow (and to motivate you to up your Snapchat/cover photo/emails to Mom game). The full album is posted on Bwog’s fancy not-really-new-but-we-haven’t-posted-about-it Facebook, but here’s a preview.

Facebook, Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft have all released details about the number of secret government requests for data they have received.  Ugh, like do they even know the first rule of keeping secrets?  (Newsweek) A restaurant in Brooklyn is offering a Beyonce-themed menu for Valentine’s Day.  So Beyonce can officially be our Valentine now right? […]

Now that we are getting back in the swing of things it is only right that Columbia nightlife returns to its humble normitude. There was trouble in wonderland this past weekend, as freshman realized the awkwardness of Columbia sponsored events, and older students tried to relive them. If you stayed in this weekend to watch […]

Bwog was just tipped a link to a statement commenting on the current discussion of the sexual assault policy on campus. The authors, who claim to be “survivor/victims, organizers, students, and alums of Columbia University,” are significantly not publicly affiliated with any big-name student organizations or leaders. We reached out to Sejal Singh, head of the […]

This past weekend, the men’s squash team won its first match against Dartmouth in the history of the program by a score of 8-1. The Lions, winners of 4 of their last 5 going into the contest, faced a tough task against No. 11 Dartmouth, a team which has had Columbia’s number throughout history. Alex […]

Remember back in January, when Jerry Seinfeld was spotted filming at Tom’s? It turns out that he was making an ad for his web show Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee which aired last night during the Super Bowl. Hopefully this new exposure for Tom’s doesn’t lead to any more photo-happy tourists clogging up the intersection at […]

Tonight was bid night for all of the Panhellenic sororities. Bwog actually doesn’t exactly know what that means, but it looks kinda nice. We heard lots of chanting and laughter (even from inside Butler), and it looked like an exciting time for new Greek life members. But damn, those letters look heavy.

Dear Bwog, I’m a bit of a loser and haven’t made any close friends this year and am without a group for housing coming up. I’m a rising sophomore, what are my housing options?! Sincerely, Fucked for Housing Dear Fucked for Housing, Bwog sympathizes with your plight and, given that the Special Interest Community (SIC) application deadline has passed, has […]
