Stories from the September 29, 2003 issue of the GW Hatchet.
Sororities offered bids to a record number of women at this year’s recruitment, with pledge classes growing by 10 women each. Each sorority was allowed to take 38 new members, and the majority of sororities filled their quotas. Five sororities took 38 new members, exceeding the quota of 36. Fiona Conroy, Panehellenic Association president, said […]
A semester after University President Stephen Joel Trachtenberg voiced a zero-tolerance policy against race-related intimidation, Muslim students said they feel safe on campus as they prepare for this year’s Islam Awareness Week. Students urged Trachtenberg to issue a formal statement last spring reiterating GW’s policy against hate crimes because of international events, including the war […]
There are different bras for different people – different brands, different styles, different materials. But does size really matter? When it comes to bra shopping, the answer is a definitive “yes.” The first step in finding a new bra, particularly if you are large-chested, is getting measured.

Before the 1920s, corsets and crazy masses of […]
After enduring yet another painful episode of the campus liberal love-fest – otherwise known as “Crossfire” – this past week, it became utterly clear to me that the Democrats have launched another masterful and typically ruthless political attack against President George W. Bush. What’s even more appalling is the fact that Republicans have yet to […]
A lesson from 9/11 Gary Livacari’s Sept. 22 article (“GW above the ideological fray,” p. 5) is a testament to the efforts of GW to honor the victims and heroes of September 11 with respect and solidarity. In addition, we sought to remind our campus and community of the horrendous effects of terrorism and demonstrate […]
