ATTENTION EVERYONE!!! Last night one particularly bold Quaker bb (who hasn't yet heard of Penn Admirers) announced his undying love and belief in the fate Ben Franklin/the Penn housing gods have chosen for him. Though very possibly a Facebook hack, we're really rooting for this guy. It's his birthday, after all!
$1 Iced Tea or Coffee -- In case you missed it yesterday, today is the last day! Flaunt your Penn Gear at the Bookstore to enjoy a slightly cheaper dose of caffeine on ice (tall size only). Though it's not your daily venti two-pump-soy-macchiato-whatever, it might keep you awake for the first half of lecture.
With our Convocation desserts carefully packed away and our classes beginning we wanted to take a step back and admire the good ol' times. You know, to really celebrate the spirit of being #nSOEXCITED the first time. They never warn you, but you really only NSO once. So after the jump, the list of things that aren't quite the same #nsOverAgain:
Careful at the off-campus frats -- Earlier this week the Liquor Control Board visited several off-campus houses to warn them (again) of the consequences of hosting parties. As this was hardly enough to put a damper on Fling, we expect that NSO will go on as planned. Just be sure not to let this guy in with you.
It's a day-dream-come-true. As of Saturday, Insomnia Cookies are expanding their delivery hours on the weekend.
Still mourning the loss of Lee's? Dry those tears and prepare your stomach for two new additions to the University City food scene (Subway is exciting, but these places look even more promising):
Looking for that perfect Wednesday after-internship thing to do in Philly this summer? For $5 you can try the Penn Museum.
Just this evening, Don Memo posted upsetting news on their Facebook Page: No, Don Memo, thank you for all the drunken nights memories. We'll stop by for lunch sometime, but something tells us BYO-ing tequila to a food truck at noon won't fill the void. Those green walls will be forever burned into our retinas, and you'll be missed!
While Columbia may have stolen Ron Perelman from us, Penn is now being wooed by a new favorite Wharton grad/donor. Frank Quattrone, a famous investment banker from the 90s tech boom, has given Penn $15M for the creation of the Quattrone Center for the Fair Administration of Justice.
Well, for a while at least. The world's premier Hindi a capella group, also known as Penn Masala topped the iTunes "World Music" chart. In other words, their new album Kaavish is basically going platinum.
You heard us! According to the Columbia Business School Newsroom, Ron Perelman, namesake of an assortment of schools and buildings and quads on campus, has pledged to donate $100 million to the creation of Columbia's "Manhattanville." But, we cry, he didn't even go there!
We're halfway through! Or maybe you're having your first final tomorrow. Or maybe you're done and already home? (If this is the case, we're jealous.)
Because we all need another distraction from finals and all things worse, check out this cute collab/cover! It features one of our favorite rap-star Penn alums, Hoodie Allen W'10, and the adorable Kina Grannis. Together, they're basically a gangsta baby sloth. And the song they're covering? It's by Walk The Moon, who'll be playing at Made In America this year. Too bad Hoodie and Kina didn't replicate this dance (skip to 1:50, it's totes, worth it).
Yet another addition to our collection of adorable professor emails! This one's actually a repeat offender (and we hear he's dreamy too). You know what they say--students in motion stay in motion unless invited to dance with their professor. Salsa? Que caliente! Mind if we join?
This is the pool room of the old chapter house of Penn's Phi Kappa Psi. Though Phi Psi has lived on Spruce since 1977 , this building sits at 3641 Locust and was built when all of Locust was still a street! Now the building is the Colonial Penn Center, home of the Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics (that's not Greek). This photo was taken just after the building was completed in 1905 (obviously they had to snap a classy picture before stuff like this or this could happen).
Here we have one of the many Penn traditions that didn't quite stand the test of time. Presenting the Bowl Fight: an annual orgy game that pitted the sophomore and freshman classes against each other. It took place in the Quad in April, much like Fling! Only it was super violent. A couple of years after the Bowl Fight pictured (1914), someone died and they (appropriately) called the whole thing off. So please, sophomores, as you sneak past the tight Quad security this weekend to visit your old rooms, don't try to wrestle freshmen into bowls. We wouldn't want Fling cancelled, now would we?
In case you missed it in the DP, the Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement of Philadelphia is coming to Fling (and not as a Quad performer). They make an appearance every year, but this time they're going undercover.
Carriage Senior Society applications open -- They're looking for members! If you think you've made an impact on Penn's LGBTQIA and Ally community, go ahead and apply here.
