Tuesday, 17 July 2012
by Alice Su
First up, shout out to our incoming freshmen! Princeton 2016 is getting all worked up this week – with good reason, since they’ve received both their res college assignments and chance to flip through the fall frosh seminars catalogue. It includes the classic free trip (!) seminars with promises of fall breaks in Costa Rica

It is Reunions.

by Giri Nathan
And in case you were unsure, this useful website confirms your suspicions. We’ll be offering occasional dispatches on the insanity, as per usual. In mere hours, thousands of accomplished alums will return to campus to regress into some kind of animalistic state. Among those accomplished alums is Brooke Shields ’87, who is said to be

All Night Rise Up Singing
Thursday, 24 May 2012
by Abby Klionsky
Leaving Firestone to walk back to my room just now I passed by Cannon Green only to hear the strumming of banjos, ukuleles, and guitars and the piercing tunes of an expect harmonica player. I stopped by for a while to join Rise Up Singing, the folk-singing group that meets once a week in Murray

More Princeton Meets Ralph Lauren Madness!
Wednesday, 09 May 2012
by Vivienne Chen
Apparently, this past week’s photoshoot isn’t the first time that Princeton University has been used for Ralph Lauren’s Rugby collection. As if to cement ourselves as the face of preppy wear, Princeton has been Ralph Lauren’s advertising backdrop since 2008. Check it out: All of your favorite places up-campus are featured: Holder courtyard, East Pyne,

It’s (Almost) Reunions Time
Thursday, 03 May 2012
by Lauren Zumbach
For Steven Liss ’10, Reunions is an orange and black Christmas, and even harder to wait for than the original. While checking his calendar last night, Liss got the inspiration for the Reunions Advent Calendar – similar to countdowntoreunions.com, but with a daily bonus – videos, cartoons, funny quotes, “anything exalting Princeton, really,” Liss said. It

Crashing A Ralph Lauren Shoot
Thursday, 03 May 2012
by Louise Connelly
Walking around campus today you might have spotted some particularly well-dressed young men and women standing around some particularly vintage vehicles. Though the models may have been noticeably more attractive than the average Princetonian, the clothes did not seem entirely out of place, something the directors must have reckoned when choosing our gorgeous campus as

A few tidbits from the week: a Tuesday Newman’s Day, a whole lot of JP’s, and some pre-frosh. #princetonsenior “When I try to play football on Newman’s Day” “What pre-frosh think Woody Woo majors do”
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).
Preview Weekend Round 2
Sunday, 29 April 2012
by Dana Bernstein
Preview weekend round 2 has now come and gone. Already forgotten how awesome it was? Here’s a video of the prefrosh exiting Richardson Auditorium at Alexander Beach (lesson number one, prefrosh: Alexander Beach is not an actual beach) Thursday afternoon. If you watch long enough, you can hear them blasting “Call Me Maybe” on the

Prefrosh Get A True Taste of Life at Princeton: Firestone
Thursday, 26 April 2012
by Ellis Liang
Wait, are prefrosh starting to realize that every weekend at Princeton isn’t like Preview? That probably explains why a bunch of them streamed into Firestone Library this afternoon, hoping to get a taste of real Princeton life–living in the library. But apparently, the librarians at Firestone were way ahead of them. They decorated the library

Out and About: the Prefrosh Activities Fair
Sunday, 22 April 2012
by Dana Bernstein
Hey Princeton! The prefrosh activities fair was hoppin’ on Friday afternoon. It was a sea of orange lanyards, Princeton drawstring backpacks (why didn’t we get those last year??), and, of course, the overwhelmed prefrosh. Oh, and a bunch of crazy people yelling at the prefrosh to join their club/activity/sports team/[insert group here]. Here are some
