The statues scattered across our campus represent more than just our University’s rich and distinguished history. They are reflective of our community as a whole. Well, at least those of us who dwell among the Tindersphere.

While statuesque, noble Alma Mater might just be the furthest thing from basic, we can all still dream about what she’d be like if she was just an ordinary student of Columbia University like us. As a student, Alma would be the type of girl whose rinsta is 100% filled with professional-looking snapshots: her and some intellectual pals next to the […]

Dear Alma, And just when you thought Columbia could not get any whiter, Winter Storm Niko loomed its vanilla head.

Skip along to Low Plaza to get free Skittles (Taste the Rainbow) and condoms from our campus […]

The Bwog got a mysterious email earlier today claiming that Alma had been attacked with red paint.
