The Kingsmen, one of Columbia’s all male a capella groups, have been known to serenade unsuspecting ladies with their sweet, sweet music. On Monday, they continued their legacy when they helped a high-school student ask his girlfriend to prom. The result is a combination of cringe-worthy awkwardness and extreme cuteness. For all the singing and […]
Mother’s Day emergency! Last night a tipster stumbled across a note outside Lerner that looked like it had fallen out of a package.

BuzzFeed confirmed every Columbian’s pre-existing opinion: we’re hot, and brains we’ve got. We’re the 5th sexiest, smartest college in the nation, actually, right behind Brown, Dartmouth, Princeton, and UPenn, weighting equally the laboratory-confirmed DateMySchool hotness index and Forbes’ college rankings that place us at #8, behind Williams and the U.S. Military Academy.
