So here we are, a mere 15 months away from the end of the world. Kinda puts this whole “working your ass off to get A’s and succeed in life after college” thing into perspective, eh? I mean, who cares? We’re all gonna die! Live for today! Put down that stupid book, dude. Use double […]

Misguided efforts Let’s face it, we’re going to drink. We’re going to go to out with our friends and drink. This is a fact of college life. Whether GW believes it or not, drinking is going to occur on our campus and on every other campus in the country. Since the beginning of the semester, […]

Twenty fraternity and sorority members and Student Association President Carrie Potter – the only non-Greek-letter community member to participate – were auctioned at J Street. Proceeds went to St. Jude’s Hospital for Cancer Research. […]

President Clinton is poised to sign into law a bill that could affect millions of college students across the country.
