There is a very loud and very exciting sorority initiation going on on Low Plaza right now, next to the east fountain. Lots of singing and dancing and chanting. It’s for ΣΛΓ. It’s the most fun sorority initiation Bwog’s ever been to! Update, 8:45: It was the Sigma Lambda Gamma Sorority. That’s ΣΛΓ. Sorry our […]

We’ve heard reports from College Walk down Broadway that a flock of women wearing sailor hats (DG! DEEE GEEEE!) has been marching down towards 113th and screaming. Some gals are screaming “AMAZING ALISON!” and “MAGNIFICENT MAY!” Oh! It’s Delta Gamma rush time.  Enjoy.

It’s Bid Day 2009 – the conclusion of spring sorority recruitment and the much-anticipated culmination of several days’ worth of events with names like the Philanthropy Brunch, Development Night, and Preference Night. Such titles might sound mysterious, but recruitment more closely resembles a harmless enough string of parties and social networking, with a little bit of traditional […]

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 […]

If one was passing through campus early this evening, one might have seen a crowd of over a hundred people gathered in a circle on the Low steps. It’s even more likely though, that one might have simply heard the crowd, as the music was loud enough to turn heads on the other side of […]

If you’re just hearing about this now, it’s too late to join. But all should be advised that this is sorority rush week, when the girlish greek quartet cheers their new class through a gauntlet of meet and greets (colorfully described by DG’s website). So if, come Friday, you run into a throng of terrifyingly […]

According to multiple sources, next year’s freshmen will get a break–the Panhellenic council has voted to phase out first-year fall rush, since the new girls don’t have time to get used to school and see what greek life is about before signing into sisterhood. In 2007, only sophomores will be allowed to rush in the […]

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. […]

Tomorrow is a big day for all you Sorority hopefuls out there: starting at noon, dreams will be made and hearts broken as new member bids become available for pickup in Lerner. This moment represents the culmination of nearly a week of Formal Recruitment events—the details of which, to many Columbia students, are nearly as […]
