(Gothamist) The Willy Wonka of Ukraine is now the […]
“By your deeds and not by your words shall you be known.” Or so reads the Sachems‘ website. Did we think to look for a website? Dammit, no. Frankly, we’re a bit over posting more lists of people who are trying to do cool things for Columbia—like to raise money for ambulances or scholarships, and […]
A recent alumnus, Vampire Weekend frontman Ezra Koenig looked back on his musical influences in an interview with entertainment news site Vulture. One of Vampire Weekend’s most popular tunes was clearly inspired by their time at Columbia. Namely, Columbia students’ inclination to defend useless punctuation marks. “I’d seen there was this Facebook group at Columbia called […]
We’ve all been there. Maybe you never bought an ID, or you honestly forgot it in your room, or you used it so much that it got creased and started to look extra fake. Bwog’s barhop buffs take you on a journey of a chilly MoHi evening. The Unfortunate Bar-Goer It’s 1 am and you’re […]
Bwog’s resident porn expert Busty Macmillions continues her analysis of Campus Sex Club, a soft-core porn novel set at Columbia in the ’60s and written by an alum. Read Part One.

In the depths of Butler 210, a menage of book titles begged to be sculpted into a magnificent poem. It’s like they knew it was (almost) National Poetry Month! The claws of my son, A long black dragon, Divide rice by memory. Those perilous hands and my Memories on reform are Today’s revolution against Dragons […]

Viv and Ben (CC ’16) have an interesting campaign platform to promote. Although it raises the question: where is the gender equality in this proposal? Urinal headrests, liberty, and […]
At midnight a few nights ago some daredevil made that weird corkscrew statue in front of Uris into his personal skate ramp and sent us the evidence. Some minor research reveals it is called Curl which is super clever. There’s a lot of dexterity going on in this photo; color us impressed.
England and Wales hop on the slowly but steadily moving marriage equality bandwagon. (BBC) No need to fear: that Turkish Twitter account you surely follow is going to survive.

We heard about a sexpert, a master of hooking up in our favorite library, so we joined him for a personal tour of the sexiest spots in Butler. Bwog and the legend—let’s call him “Jerry” to get the “BJ” effect in the dialogue— met in Butler’s majestic lobby, shook hands, and got down to business. Bwog: […]
Bwog knows that picking a dorm can be a stressful activity for freshmen (or “rising sophomores” in Housing terminology). We’ve created a quick quiz to help you figure out which dorm is right for you. Enjoy!
Artur Renault did what many would consider a self-destructive act. He went deep inside Schermerhorn for fun. The results of this mad expedition are laid before you.
