Bummer For Harvard Guys: Most Wellesley Students Are Virgins
Harvard guys who are looking to get lucky by taking the bus (aka f*$k truck) over to all women Wellesley College shouldn’t get their hopes up too much. Most of the students at Wellesley are virgins! What is that you say? Undergraduate students in uber liberal areas are still chaste these days? Well, maybe…unless most of the students are Wellesley are lesbians, in which case there could very well be many “technical virgins” on campus. Not surprisingly, Mathematics and Chemistry majors make up the largest percentage of virgins on campus.

Photo Of The Day: The Ivy Club Continues To Provide Preparation To Princeton Students For Real Life
[Parties at Ivy at Princeton Univeristy, preparation for a life of doormen and velvet ropes...]
And you thought getting into Rose Bar was difficult…
Ivy Club at Princeton University, the Crème de la Crème as far as eating clubs are concerned, is training wheels for real life. And trust us, it’s much easier getting into a Marc Jacobs party than it is into Ivy (and that’s even when Marc Jacob’s is canceled). That’s because before you’re accepted, you must go through the “bicker process”, a series of ten screening interviews, followed by discussions amongst members as to whom of the remaining should be admitted. Before money even comes into play, (and with a $7k price tag it’s no small fee for most college student), there are a few questions you have to pass, and unfortunately they don’t include your ability to climb up mahogany staircases while intoxicated…

The Harvard Yale Football Game Tailgate 101
[Harvard fans shotgunning beers]
For those of you who have been to or heard of the Harvard Yale Football Game, you are probably aware that it is one of the “great” Ivy League tailgates of the year. Yes, oxymoronic indeed. It’s when all the students come out of the woodwork, or rather the library, and engage in what might be the largest amateur drink fest in the country. It’s also a time when the alums in NYC make the pilgrimage up to their alma maters to watch The Game and relive those John Belushi-esque days as an undergrad. And this year’s game at Harvard last weekend was no exception.

A Brainy Brooklynite And His Plethora Of Fat Envelopes
In this day and age, it’s often a thrilling surprise for even the most brilliant high school students to receive a fat envelope (a.k.a. acceptance letter) from their top choice college. But this year, New Utrecht High School valedictorian Lukasz Zbylut received one not only from his top choice (Harvard), but from 17 other prestigious colleges. The schools that accepted Zbylut include Ivies Yale, Dartmouth, and Columbia–in spite their falling acceptance rates over the past few years. It’s probably not surprising that Zbylut lead the model U.N., the debate team, the school newspaper and various other organizations during his four years at New Utrecht. And while it may be easy to make fun of Zbylut for being, um, a nerd, we all know that he’s going to save the world someday.

Tigers Descend Upon Tigertown, Hear Them Roar!
Princeton Reunions bring a lot of old preppy dudes and some gals into Princeton for the annual alumni weekend of tents, picnics, banter, beer, beer, and more beer.
Our spy on the scene out in Jersey caught a couple of guys who have already started the celebrating in style. HOT!

Princeton Reunions Almost HERE!
Yep, it’s that time of year again…time to get out your fighting tiger gear, and head across the river for some beers, lawn parties, and PJ’s pancakes.
It’s Princeton Reunion time this weekend.
And, while you’re there, if you manage to stay sober enough to actually enjoy some of the sites this town has to offer, might I suggest checking out the following:

Lonely NYU Student Is Virtually Brilliant

Those wacky urban college kids with their energy drinks and mumblecore and new-fangled mePods. It’s enough to make any twenty-something yearn for the simple pleasures of mopey, fumbling dorm room spooning. The solution is upon us: Virtual Girlfriend. Now with less backtalk and more silent disdain for your Wii compulsion!

The Timekeeper of Washington Square Park
Most of you likely don’t often go through Washington Square Park during the week days. If you do you may have heard, as you huffed past meandering clumps of coeds, a gruff voice bellowing “Three minutes to class.” You may have seen a craggy, somewhat shrunken older man standing in the middle of University Place, briskly directing traffic. His name is John, and he is our Timekeeper. From Monday through Friday, John bellows out the time to passing students (he has two watches). He also chastises speeding cars, halting them when possible, so that oblivious students (i.e. us) don’t get hit. John does all of this for free; it makes him happy, he says. Still, we were delighted to find that two Tischies, Forrest McClain and Andrew Yip, had acknowledged John’s services in a short biopic. It’s entitled, appropriately, Timekeeper.

The Downward Spiral: Weekend(ish) Edition
Of all the glorious facets that make up my Violet life, the one that garners the second most envy points is the three day weekend. C’est vrai, we don’t have Friday classes, and, as long as we stray away from those pesky chem labs and enormous, recitation-requiring lectures, we never will. Come Thursday at 3:15, our work week is over, but before you too get all green-eyed, we’d like to say that three successive responsibility-free nights come with varyingly heavy prices. We youngsters have yet to master the art of social drinking; imbibing is still a means, and the end is often ugly. Thursday night all is roses –double shots of Georgi all round! Friday night we’ve gotten over our a.m. declaration of abstinence, but did somebody bring the chasers? And Saturday night…Saturday night just hurts. More »
