Kappa Sigma places in plane pull The Kappa Sigma fraternity placed 19th out of 57 in an airplane pull Saturday to raise money for the Special Olympics.

Hatchet: Is this the first time you’ve played a college show? Andrew W.K.: This is the third or fourth one we’ve done, and I don’t mean this as any disrespect at all to the organizers or to George Washington University, but I was talking to some kids today, and many students didn’t even know we […]
His parents want him to do better, but there’s not much room for improvement. GW graduate Yong Seong “CJ” Chang has accomplished a lot in his 22 years. The captain of the U.S. National Tae Kwon Do Team is now ranked second in the world for black belt middleweights and first in the U.S. in […]

Hurricane Isabel, which left the Mount Vernon Campus without power for three days and turned its 350 residents into refugees, cost GW about $1 million, University officials said Wednesday. Mount Vernon regained power Monday morning, ending an ordeal for students who were temporarily housed in local hotels and Foggy Bottom residence halls. The relocation came […]
