Did Spring Break come early for some people? Campus felt half–empty as students jetted off to locales more exciting than West Philadelphia. Aside from the ski trip contingent, nearly 50 people flew down to Miami for a joint Tabard/Theos birthday extravaganza. Guests had to cover airfare, but the generous hosts paid for all other expenses (including nightly bottle service). Sounds great, but how was having your parents at clubs with you? Other students and alums convened in New York for the birthday festivities of a certain Castle super senior. Maybe he was also celebrating actually graduating.
Unfortunately, the organizers of The Vagina Monologues downtown at Club 27 can’t blame the out–of–towners for the poor attendance. Last Wednesday’s event was so empty that the few attendees resorted to mass texting friends to come. Alas, we hear this tactic proved unsuccessful, but a popular open bar at Tap House on Tuesday might have lessened the sting.The boys of Theta Xi certainly stayed in town, though, and got into all kinds of trouble. After yet another interfraternity brawl, this one between an A’s sophomore and a couple of Theta Xi’s outside of Smoke's on Saturday night, the boys let it all hang out, literally, at TriDelt chapter the next day. The Delts were subjected to a graphic song and dance routine to “I Just Had Sex,” which culminated in an appropriately timed shaving cream explosion and later, an email from the TriDelt president warning other sororities to watch out.
Some good news, though, for Delts of another variety. Ever heard of Delta Tau Delta? Neither had we until this week, when news spread that the dying frat was on the upswing. After targeted recruitment, over 20 guys, many from the football and baseball teams, have already pledged, and the number should continue to rise. Throw up those d's.
