As the kick-off to Halloween rolled around, Penn students made their way to South Street in search of the best slutty, funny or altogether ridiculous costumes. South Street — that land of sex shops, head shops and wonderful pizza — turns out to share a number of characteristics with our favorite holiday here in West Philly. For South Street, like Penn-o-ween, has family-oriented neighbors (Society Hill and Homecoming, respectively) and serves as a catalyst for the usually normal to go a little crazy. As far as Halloween goes, the pseudo-Greeks are competing for the best Halloween extravaganza (check out the back page for your weekend fiesta guide), that one creepy professor is going to decide to dress up and there will be a noted absence of trick-or-treaters.
But back to South Street — which you probably didn’t get down to last weekend, when your parents were here visiting. Some people seemed to have been rather busy with their elders, even too busy to go out perhaps? The lack of ladies at a heavily male-attended Phi Delt-Theta mixer on Saturday prompted the boys to leave a bag of feces on Theta’s porch… Sunday brunch, perhaps? In our opinion, the whole thing kind of lacks originality. Didn’t you guys urinate in some other ladies’ oven, like, two years ago? Sounds like the kind of debauchery more fit for South than Beige. On that note, here's to the upcoming debaucherous weekend… we can't wait to hear write all about it.
