The Round Up: 10.29.09

Fresh from Fall Break, Penn students stepped out with a vengeance Thursday night. Not surprisingly, Super Mash Bros. at Denim drew an offensively large downtown crowd. The standard shoving-your-way-to-the-front-of-the-line and bottle-service-as-a-means-of-entry were reported, along with threats of sorority blacklisting (see Overheard at Penn). Hopefully you were all able to sober up by Friday afternoon, when hordes of parents were spotted strolling around campus in their newly bought Penn gear. A few even made it out for the late night festivities, as tipsters filled us in on parent-child bonding at Smokes until the wee hours of Saturday night. Wonder if any Penn MILFs got asked for backup! While their folks hit the bars, little siblings were seen basking in Natty Light heaven at various house parties. We hear the underage drinking got too out of hand at one off-campus Theos house when the Penn po’ arrived to break it up. Greek leadership society Omega hosted their fall smoker Saturday night. Blarney was packed with those looking to broaden their drinking circles as the aggressive boozing and rowdy drinking games got underway at 6 p.m. Kappa Sigma hosted their annual Fall Fest later that night with more overalls, straw and Bankers Club than your typical state school party. Doubtful whether the pumpkin displays made it through the evening. Our favorite landlords also celebrated the changing of the seasons this weekend with Campus Apartments’ Harvest Fest on Saturday afternoon. Although we were hesitant to stay for long, a few CA employees were seen getting down to the tunes of Rihanna and the likes as they performed for passers-by while keeping dry from the crappy weather under umbrellas (no pun intended). Now when are they going to come fix our leaky roof?
