Tonight, we celebrate our school as best we know how with communal food before finals and offense given to everyone and everything! At precisely the stroke of midnight, in Butler 209, the Columbia University Marching Band will be hosting “the 60th consecutive 69th semi-annual Orgo Night.” This alleged act of public service (as well as […]

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 […]

At the last Bwog meeting, we asked who wanted to review Orgo Night. Elizabeth Self asked “What’s Orgo Night?”  We responded, “Don’t worry about it just show up to Butler 209 at 11:30 pm.” So for you this semester we have two accounts of Orgo Night: from an Orgo virgin and a more, uh, experienced […]

What it says on the tin. When you need that study break tonight, the Columbia University Marching Band’s got you covered, as they do every semester. Orgo Night, Butler 209, 11:59 pm. Go groan at the lame jokes and tweet the good ones so we don’t have to. Snag a spot early. And as always, […]

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.

Perhaps you’ve spotted some already, but the Orgo Night posters are up around campus. (They’re on ceilings and windows and walls and obviously they all want you to attend Orgo Night.) And just so you don’t miss any, here they all are for you to enjoy.

This semester’s Orgo Night was slightly less, ah, hyped than the last, but was still a great respite from the tension on campus throughout this week.  Freshman daily editor Zachary Hendrickson tried to get a comprehensive grasp on the tradition. I think it’s important to start by saying that I have close friends in the […]

In case all the recent breaking news has distracted you from finals week, some things never change: Orgo Night will take place tonight at 11:59 pm in Butler 209. And you can bet there will have been some last-minute additions to the script. Also tonight: Midnight Breakfast at, naturally, midnight in LeFrak Gymnasium. Whether you […]

Today’s First Senior Wisdom: Tyler Benedict, from CUMB and other annoying things. Want to get more annoyed? Go watch him read at Orgo Night tonight. Name, Hometown, School: Tyler Benedict; Dayton, OH; CC. Claim to fame? I’m the annoying guy from Orgo Night and all those CUMB videos. For a brief moment I was also annoying on TV. Where are you […]

In a remarkable change of heart from last semester’s public scolding, Dean Shollenberger now whole-heartedly, enthusiastically supports this year’s Orgo Night, and encourages you to do the same!!! Perhaps the greatest use of ellipses ever Want more? Orgo Night is next Thursday, May 9th at 11:59 pm in 209.

Update, 3:13 pm: A tipster tells us the banner has been taken down :( The Orgo Night banner just went up in Lerner, and it very openly mocks the Varsity Show banner directly behind it. It’s good to know that Orgo Night hasn’t lost its balls.

Let’s recap: on Thursday Dean Shollenberger condemned the Marching Band for their posters about Orgo Night in an email sent to all undergrads. In a meeting with Shollenberger, he explained that the posters were brought to his attention by students who felt marginalized by them. On Monday night, a meeting was held with a coalition of students […]

Orgo Night began as a usual night in Butler: as a mass of people intently studying in 209. Nearly all desks were full as the stress of exams bubbled in everyone’s heads. As the crowds started to walk in, three different looks popped on people’s faces. Some looked up from their books, faces lit with […]

With all the controversy the CUMB has been stirring up in the past few hours, you’d be a fool to miss Orgo Night. You’d also be a fool to give up your hard-won Butler seat, though, and to stuff your way into a crowd of desperate, tired people. Below, the best of both worlds: a […]
