Tired of all the recent sorority drama? Hoping to join an organization that loves and supports the real you? Ready to live life with no restrictions (and practically unlimited access to alcohol)? If you answered yes to any of those questions, the Columbia University Marching Band has just the place for you: Gamma Theta Beta. […]

The second (and more controversial) round of Orgo Night posters have hit Butler bulletin boards (you can look at the first round of posters here). As one would expect, the posters contain Donald Trump jokes (Is he still funny? The world seems undecided), a play on Hotline Bling’s album art, and yet another reference to […]

It’s that time of year again folks: the Columbia University Marching Band has released their first round of flyers for this year’s Fall Orgo Night taking place December 16th at 11:59PM in Butler 209. While these posters are definitely less controversial than those of previous years, we expect the event itself to maintain its usual level of offense. As always, Bwog plans […]

The Blue and White just released their November issue of the mag online last night, and we’re posting a few of the pieces throughout the week. First, we bring you a piece by Editor-in-chief Hallie Nell Swanson on the language of safety on campus. This summer, a series of articles released in mainstream media outlets […]

After three long years of losing, the Lions football team emerged victorious from their battle with Wagner this weekend (we’re sure you haven’t noticed). The last time they won a game was almost three years ago. Staff Writer Mia Lindheimer takes a look at what happened during that fateful game, the Lions’ last glimpse of […]

Did you get so caught up in studying for your CC final/reorganizing your entire wardrobe (dammit, Adderall!) that you missed Orgo Night? We scoped out Butler 209 early and got a good seat just so we could bring you the recap. We walked into 209 at 11:25 last night, and it was a lot quieter […]

The Columbia University Marching band, or CUMB, just wrapped up their traditional Orgo Night performance in Butler 209 on the night before the Organic Chemistry final. If you’re finding your eyes are beginning to glaze over from studying, take a quick study break and read over the script from tonight. The band sure did CUMB […]

In honor of Orgo Night, we thought it would be fitting to feature some CUMBers in today’s senior wisdoms. First, we bring you former Orgo Night writer and Spectator columnist, Ziyad Abdelfattah. Name, School, Major, Hometown: Ziyad Abdelfattah, Columbia College, Political Science + Music, Berkeley, CA. Claim to fame: I did Orgo Night a couple of times, […]

Two anonymous baby Bwoggers present their review of Orgo Night: Fall 2014 Edition. We sent the freshmen because they didn’t know what to expect. Also they’re less jaded. Last night at 11:30pm in Butler 209, everyone realized—probably—that they had forgotten to take a shower. Sweaty bodies in sweaty sweaters carrying their sweaty parkas milled around […]

CUMB is releasing its Fall 2014 Orgo Night posters soon! According to one Bwogger/CUMB member, a “big flyering effort is scheduled for tonight.” Catch a sneak preview below, and be sure to get to Butler 209 for Orgo Night next Thursday!

Once again, exams have begun, but not before the Columbia University Marching Band ruined all of our studying beforehand, like they do every year. Yes, last night was Orgo Night and Bwog was there. Here’s what we saw: By 11AM the only seat left in Butler 209 was a wobbly one with no plug.  Twelve hours […]

Your social life is booming. Two, count ’em, two nighttime events on the Thursday before Finals Day One. But alas, for all us non-Barnardians they overlap, so which to choose? Your options: Midnight Breakfast (which opens its doors to CC/SEAS at midnight, Barnard seniors at 11, and the rest of Barnard at 11:30), and Orgo Night, which […]

Have you seen the flyers everywhere? Are you fascinated appalled by the band’s ability to take and make light of literally every single controversy of the semester? How impressed are you that with flimsy sheets of paper, the band has singlehandedly managed to alienate essentially every faction of campus? Well, in case you missed a couple, Bwog’s got […]

Thursday, Dec. 12th, 11:59pm, Butler 209. Be there. The Columbia University Marching Band’s Orgo Night will be sure to make you scream. with laughter.

Bwog received a tip that one Stephen Snowder—fearless Columbia student and Chief Editor of Columbia’s The Lion—had created a WordPress blog called CUMBsucks, mock-mocking the Columbia University Marching Band. This site was modeled after the original specsucks website (which of course now looks like this). He has since took it  down, but you can peek at it here. Snowder […]
