The Round Up: 4.9.09

Yesterday marked the beginning of Passover, so all the Jews have gone home to New Jersey and Long Island for the weekend. In lieu of that, we’re not sure anyone is reading our magazine today. And we sure as heck hope you didn’t give up gossip for Lent, because our favorite social scene has lots to share this week. Honestly, though, we’re starting to get overwhelmed by all this Greek/pseudo-Greek drama, and there is a fair share of it this week. Sources tell us the off-campus crowd has been running into unwanted authorities as of late, but we can’t say it really seems all that serious. Let’s just pray that the police don’t misinterpret the apparently campus-wide game of “assassin” that Beta and AXO are apparently playing. Speaking of games, it was Greek Weekend, which included a post-poned Powderpuff Football game and some sort of community service event. But the festivities don’t stop there. Sigma Chi is also hosting its annual Derby Days this week. Though the Greeks have had a lot of the attention this week, they weren’t the only ones engaging in initiation activities. The senior societies ­— Friars, Sphinx and Mortar Board — welcomed a new crop of high-achieving juniors into their ranks. On that note, we’re off to savor some unleavened bread.
