Despite making some waves at the Princeton Chase, Penn rowing has still identified some room for improvement as it looks forward to winter training.
But the ratio does the most damage to the frats themselves. I’ve been amazed by how Penn frats defy the stereotype. I’ve defended fraternities to my friends at small liberal arts colleges who think they’re the epitome of archetypal, dumb college groups. Actually talk to a frat brother, and you’ll find a different story.

On Oct. 28 this year, PennWorld is hosting its Mix It Up event to encourage intercultural conversations, as well as identifying and questioning social boundaries.

College 2006 graduate Adam Weber, along with College 2007 graduate Jimmy Goldblum, co-produced and co-directed a documentary called “Tomorrow We Disappear,” which premiered last weekend.

Unfortunately for Penn men’s soccer, the team ended up on the short end of the straw against Yale, fighting to a 1-1 draw against one of the weakest teams in the country.
And so it begins. Penn basketball gave the Quaker faithful its first glimpse of the 2014-15 program on Saturday in its Red and Blue scrimmage.
Quite frankly, sometimes these arguments are purposely deceptive. Planned Parenthood’s 3 percent statistic, for example. Planned Parenthood has unbundled every particular “service” rendered in order to reduce the percentage that abortions make up.
