The Columbia Marching Band has not always been known for their political correctness, and this time around it seems as if they have taken their controversial humor a step too far. Many people were offended by their Orgo Night “Gaza Strip: everyone wants a piece” promo fliers and took to notifying the administration. Following this, […]

Here in the darkness of finals, not one, but two time-honored procrastinatory activities are available for you tonight. You can either catch Orgo Night for politically incorrect jokes in Butler, or nourish your all-nighter at Barnard’s Midnight Breakfast — the theme this year is Electric Breakfast, which means that you have to do the electric […]

Come ring in the end of the world (*according to the marching band) with one of Columbia’s best loved traditions: Orgo Night. Be ready to squeeze into Butler 209 this Thursday at 11:59 PM to get in on the madness.

The semesterly tradition of filling Butler 209 to capacity happened last night, and for all those who missed out on the swampy experience (the B.O. levels rivaled Butler 409) we present a short collection of thoughts, observations, and Instagram-y photos cobbled together at a surprisingly empty 1020 (thank you Lit Hum and CC finals!).  The […]

At Midnight Breakfast and Orgo Night, respectively! Despite some date-drama, the pre-finals breakfast will in fact be held tonight, as per tradition. Head over to LeFrak for a superhero-themed meal at 11 pm if you’re a Barnard senior, 11:30 if you’re a Barnard non-senior, and 12 if you’re a pleb. Also tonight: grab a seat […]

If you’re anything like Bwog, you awoke with a start* this morn’ upon remembering that finals aren’t just the stuffs of romcom CW sitcoms—they’re very real, and they’re happening. For some, as early as Friday. But before resigning yourself to getting that weird low-cal tofu cream cheese on your Nussbaum bagel, just to feel something, […]

Self-proclaimed Orgo Night Veteran and Chief Ref Room Correspondent Sameea Butt meditates on the highs and lows of everyone’s favorite library musical comedy show. Something has become obvious to this Bwogger and five-time attendee of Orgo Night about the crowds that pack Butler 209 on a semesterly basis. Despite the speakers’ more than capable enunciation […]

Update: The band has provided a video showcasing assorted jokes and songs from last night. Relive the action below. Last night, Butler 209 played host to Orgo Night, one of Columbia’s time-honored traditions and the reason many upperclassmen choose to move off campus. Bwog will have a full review later today, but for now, check […]

Bonjour! If you are in need of a carbohydrate boost after the exhilaration of Orgo Night spirals down and the dread accompanying the fact that you still have a few thousand words to go on that essay you plan to finish tonight begins to set in, procrastinate even further by stopping by Barnard for the annual Midnight Breakfast. This year, it […]

Traditional: Tonight, at 11:59 in Butler 209, the Marching Band will sing songs and make jokes of questionable taste. Unorthodox: An actually pretty funny promotional video from the band. Unexpected: As an extra credit project for his orgo class, Professor Campos called for original music videos. Here’s our favorite. (Click CC to turn on the captions)

Chief Ref Room Correspondent Sameea Butt forayed a floor below her usual spot to recap yesterday evening’s this morning’s Orgo Night. If you want to see video, you can check out one from a commenter or CUMB’s YouTube channel. There was a little more excitement than expected in 209 last night, as the crowds sweated it out […]

Just because finals start tomorrow in earnest doesn’t mean you can’t have fun tonight! At midnight in 209, CUMB hosts Orgo Night. There will be music, shouting, school spirit, and Barnard jokes. Speaking of the ladies across Broadway, tonight is another Midnight Breakfast. There will be barrels of free food. Barnard seniors may start munching […]

Overseen during Orgo Night: a studious young fellow memorizing Chinese characters and watching “Piano Man.” God bless you!

Tonight was Orgo Night, that (rare) cherished Columbia tradition, in which The Cleverest Band in the World occupies Butler 209 and strives to “lower the curve on the orgo exam” by telling raunchy jokes with topical music interspersed. Likely due to a number of recent events, 209 was buzzing by 11:10 p.m. By 11:20 Public […]

In the wise words of Jody Zellman: “bummer, bro.” We also hear that there are Public Safety officers directing traffic at Midnight Breakfast. Expect a review within a few minutes. E-Z on those butt-comments, we took the original picture down at the request of the, um, involved parties.
