Sigma Pi Fraternity Reinstated at Cornell, Placed on Year-Long Probation

Last Thanksgiving, four Sigma Pi pledges landed in the Cayuga Medical Center with severe alcohol poisoning.

 

Some called it a testament to the success of Sigma Pi’s rush party; others, namely the associate dean of the University, called it an “egregious” incident that warranted heavy scrutiny.

 

Of course, by “scrutiny,” he meant total disbarme...

President Richard Nixon Hated the Ivy League, Secretly Planned Its Destruction

President Richard Nixon Hated the Ivy League, Secretly Planned Its Destruction

Last week, the Nixon Library released over 198 hours of President Richard Nixon ranting and raving about--more or less--everything.

 

From the press to the Ivy League, Old Dick Nixon hated it all, and he wasn’t afraid to let everyone within an earshot know it—whether they cared to listen or not.

 

Thankfully, the mad ramblings of this presidenti...

Sex Offender Found Living in University of Illinois Library, Cornell Student Implores Everyone to be Afraid

Sex offenders have apparently given up the tried-and-true methods of luring in unsuspecting prey—that is, driving up to schools with vans marked “Free Candy”—in favor of more aggressive ones, such as living in our college libraries.

 

According to the Cornell Daily Sun, a 21-year-old, non-student sex offender was arrested in the University of Il...

The First Episode of Laguna Beach Meets Cornell is Here

Ivy, the Ithaca College-produced reality series starring the-undeniably-best-Ivy-ever Cornell, is—for the lack of a better word—awesome.

 

There’s drama. There’s betrayal. There are arrogant, prissy snobs who yearn for valet service.

 

In short, it’s a point-for-point recreation of life at Cornell.

 

Well, not the real Cornell, mind you. No, thi...
