Three first year Delta Sig frat boys in an elevator. One is carrying a handful of flyers advertising an event. “Who has the tape?” “I don’t have the tape.” “I thought you had the tape.” “Do we have to go back up and get the tape?” They don’t exit the elevator. Later:

It’s that time of year again. Fraternities are currently dressing their pledges in suits and making them yell animal noises in Butler 209. It’s embarrassing! But it shows they care!

Imagine our joy when, this morning, an “important update” dropped into our inbox from the Interfraternity Council: Greek membership has exploded from 550 in 2006 to an astonishing 823 today! That’s over 50 percent growth in two years, to just about 10 percent of Barnard, the College and SEAS. There are comfortably over twice as […]

Bwog Editor Juli Weiner spent the night in the land of Brobdingnag. Names and details have been omitted to protect the innocent. Last night, twenty of the largest people Bwog has ever seen stood assembled in suits outside Butler. Passersby stopped to stare at the group, as it is not often persons of this width […]

Well, they moved quickly this time. As we wrote about before, the announcement of a joint appearance by Obama and McCain on campus next Thursday took student government and group leaders completely by surprise. Just before midnight, though, the presidents of the student councils, club governing boards, and Panhellenic councils have sent an email to […]

Super Tuesday, almost as good as the Superbowl!  Even better if you watch at 1020. Super Tuesday, almost as cool as Wolf Blitzer’s beard! What more can you ask from the frats?  More Nikolai and cheap beer please. RA’s, Chateau D’If style.  C’mon, who hangs their milk in a plastic bag outside of their window? […]

A Bwog tipster recently brought to our attention that the Alpha Delta Phi pirate flag has been missing from the 114th Street brownstone for awhile now. What happened? “It was apparently stolen by MIT’s chapter of the frat last week,” so says our tipster (although this has not been confirmed by ADP itself). If so […]

We’re not sure what’s more strange about the AAA poster: that they promote their event with a picture of Calvin Sun et al., or that they’re touting Tokyo Pop as “Columbia’s premier nightclub/lounge.”  Also, Phi Iota Alpha felt the need to promote their rager with a glistening, curvaceous babe. No party in the Lerner Party […]

Summer Columbians who are hungry, broke and puzzling over how best to commemorate the sacrifices of our men and women in unifor m are apparently welcome at the Beta house tomorrow. CORRECTION, 11:33 PM EST: Former University Senatorial candidate Dan Free wrote in to let us know that “Um…thats NOT true. I’m hosting it and […]

Dear Sig Ep, A Global Warming party? How clever. At least the College Republicans were trying to make a statement! Love, Bwog P.S. (We may still come anyway)

Fancy a bit of Greek this weekend?  Then allow Bwog to present Mike and Sarah, representing Delta Sigma Phi and Kappa Alpha Theta in this week’s Personals. If you want either of these two to help you write your own personal Odyssey, email bwgossip@columbia.edu and let us know. If it’s a match, we’ll spring $5 […]

Bwog doesn’t have the cash to “pimp your room,” and we certainly don’t want to raid it and then date you. So we bring you the semi-weekly feature, the “Cribs-esque” Room Hopping, continuing with… It may be a brownstone on 114th street, but don’t walk into the sorority EAT (Sigma Delta Tau) expecting Animal-House-caliber mayhem. […]

Two boys in sweatshirts with Greek insignia, talking to each other in normal voices at the milk-and-sugar station in 212: “Yeah, but you didn’t hear it from me.” “Whoa, that’s a REALLY big secret.” “Dude, i know, that’s why i’m not telling you in front of the other guys. I’m telling you in private. So no […]

Sorry Carman kids! The biggest party you didn’t need an invite for was shut down just as it got rolling, at about 12:30 AM. According to witnesses at the scene, KDR (a.k.a. the basketball frat) had packed its house and sent revelers spilling onto 114th st., prompting campus security to call the NYPD. In addition, […]

Silly AEPi…Jewish boys can’t play football!
