New Alcohol Pilot Program
(09/30/12 5:40pm)
Attention ladies! You no longer have to worry about wearing a bigger bra in order to sneak that flask into a registered party. Why? Because now they're allowed to drain bottles of grain alcohol into that probably-already-destroyed stomach of yours! That was a hyperbole. However, the university's new alcohol policy pilot program for registered parties and events will allow mixed drinks to be served, according to the DP. They're even allowing non-Greek student groups to host events and serve liquor-infused beverages. You get the best of both worlds. The UA will meet tonight with the Alcohol Policy Review Committee to consider endorsing the program. It's good to know that when you go to your next frat party, maybe it won't get shut down because they served Mike's Hard (reference: Castle, last week).

Well, LA DI DA, the temperature dipped below 80 degrees a couple times in the past week and you think Sweater Weather season has started? WELL GUESS WHAT? It kind of has!

Food Trucks At Penn: A Tasting Menu
(09/02/12 6:02pm)
Listen up, freshmen goblins and ghouls: Penn's dining halls aren't that great. Yeah! See, at first, we were all, "Wow! Commons is serving chicken tetrazzini on a chocolate waffle today, isn't that nice?" But then we tried it and were like, "Wow! It absolutely tastes like Paula Deen just farted in my mouth." Luckily, though, we live in a city where we have plenty of options when it comes to grub, and Penn's cheap and delicious food trucks are winners in our book. So bid au revoir to Bon Appétit and check out ten of our favorite trucks:

NSO (New Student Orientation for anyone living deep, deep under a rock) is in full swing and you freshmen must be overwhelmed by something.

Freshmen Guide To NSO 2012
(08/29/12 5:31pm)
Attention freshmen and freshwomen: NSO (for those living under a rock, NSO = New Student Orientation) is approaching! It’s a well-known fact that Orientation weekend is second-to-none– at least during the Fall semester (sorry, Fling is totes better). Of course, with plenty of things to do, the first few days at Penn are chaotic. But not all school-sponsored events are created equal, so we’re here to tell you what’s what on Locust (ya know, that sidewalk through the middle of campus) and beyond. Come along, new friends!

(06/15/12 8:12pm)
Good news, everyone! The goddesses have finally decided to respond to our demands for a campus liquor store after the closing of the 41st and Market booze vendor. As West Philly Local reports, applications for the heavily contested space (currently an adult video store) were rejected by the Zoning Board in April, but a recent vote of 3-1 has overturned that decision. Politics!

(04/29/12 8:28pm)
