This has been a busy week for GW’s unrecognized fraternities. Zeta Beta Tau’s national organization revoked the GW chapter’s charter after parents of pledges lodged complaints of hazing.

Religion week celebrates faiths The Program Board’s multicultural affairs committee will sponsor a week of religious events called “Festival of Faiths” starting Monday.

GW officials still do not know what caused a fire alarm and sprinkler to activate in New Hall early Sunday morning. “As of now we don’t know. It’s still under investigation,” said Jed Frei, community director for New Hall. “We’re looking at videotapes.” A sprinkler near New Hall room 611 activated Sunday, causing water damage […]

GW professors are changing the focus of their classes to address the historical, economic and social impacts of the Sept. 11 attacks and war on terrorism. While the world watches the District, University policy makers are also considering how to integrate real-world events into coursework. Many professors are incorporating the causes and effects of the […]

An academic panel on the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan told an audience of more than 50 people Tuesday night that humanitarian aid must continue in Afghanistan, even when the situation is no longer a national news story.
