Enough has already been said all over the Internet about the letter to the ‘Prince’ editor that Susan A. Patton ’77 wrote imploring us Princeton women to “find a husband on campus before [we] graduate,” because: “the cornerstone of your future and happiness will be inextricably linked to the man you marry, and you will never

Princeton’s Famous (Fictional) Alumni
Sunday, 17 February 2013
by University Press Club
We’ve all heard about Woodrow Wilson, Michelle Obama, and Brooke Shields at Princeton. But what about all of the fictional characters who have matriculated at this great, ivy-bathed institution? It seems the University can’t get enough of our fake alumni: DID YOU KNOW: Princeton has a Program in Linguistics, but contrary to what you may

Goodbye Prefrosh, Hello Reunions
Monday, 30 April 2012
by Abby Klionsky
The University hardly waited for the prefrosh to leave before they began setting up for Reunions, plural, with a capital R. Expect to start seeing full fences go up soon, making it impossible to take shortcuts (unless you’re particularly good at hopping the ten-foot-tall wooden blockades meant to keep strangers out and beer-wielding alum in).

Best First Lady ever? Michelle Obama ’85 visited Alice Deal Middle School in Washington, DC, today where students performed a dance choreographed by Beyonce. The First Lady joined in–watch the video above. “Beyoncé is one of my favorite performers on the planet. And when she agreed to remake her video and do this “Let’s Move”

Reminding You That Reunions Are Ever-Approaching
Monday, 25 April 2011
by Nathan Serota
Like an atom bomb or the end of the world or the Macy’s Day Parade. Whether or not you knew it, Reunions (i.e. “the perennial Ivy League blowout kegger” referred to in a GQ exposé last year) are coming. Can’t you hear it — the pitter-patter of hundreds of alumni footsteps, canes and wheelchairs, the slurping from

IN PRINT: So now the alumni know
Sunday, 19 September 2010
by Angela Wu
Think of this piece as an introduction to Princeton FML, your virtual window into the life of a Princeton undergraduate. It might not be the most graceful — or eloquent — way to complain, but it’s probably the easiest. “FML.” The last two letters stand for “my life,” and it shouldn’t be too hard to
This month’s GQ lays bare Princeton’s reunions secrets
Tuesday, 25 May 2010
by Will Saborio
We have a good thing going here at Princeton — even years after you graduate, you can come back and be an underclassman again for a weekend in May, reveling in all the debauchery that entails, at Princeton Reunions. But it’s relatively hush-hush, you know? Sure it’s a huge party, but we manage to keep

IN PRINT: On prefrosh impressions, and undocumented students at Princeton
Wednesday, 12 May 2010
by Angela Wu
The most recent issue of the Princeton Alumni Weekly has two articles that shed some light on what life at Princeton is like. According to some pre-frosh, the world outside Fitzrandolph Gate thinks we are “squares,” with “windswept hair,” “weird shorts,” and “boat shoes and everything.” This may in fact be true. More serious, but
