Tonight, the student group Everyone Allied Against Homophobia will begin distributing pink fliers to all dorm rooms on the Columbia and Barnard campuses. The fliers are intended to be placed in dorm room windows to indicate that the dorm room is a “safe space” for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transsexual and queer students and their allies, […]
There’s been lots of talk about Barnard and Greek Life recently. We’re kind of confused, so we figured you would be, too.

Photos by […]
