    Sorority Hazing Scandal Continued: Tales of Grave-digging and Branding

    In response to Long Island's Hofstra University sorority scandal, in which 19-year-old Courtney Holt said she was brutally hazed (the Phi Epsilon sorority responded that she was a mean drunk), a Hofstra alumn has written in. Surprise: the sorority is def evil, she says, and those girls are just as horrible as you might have imagined. "Although this Holt girl def seems like a psycho, a lot of the other information that she states is true... For one being Branded... yes they're branded with a three pronged fork to represent their three values (which is why they have a effing cow as a sorority symbol, and they always say 'love x3')."

    The Republican Of Bard College

    Bard College, the liberal arts school located 120 miles north in Annandale-on-Hudson, "puts the 'liberal' in 'liberal arts,'" according to the 'Princeton Review.'

    Park Slope Parents Of Partying Private School Kids Demand 'Times' Retraction

    Last week's very special issue in the New York Times about seventeen-year-olds in the city caused something of a scandal with a certain set of Park Slope parents—a group usually known for their calm, undemanding approach to life. David Helene, a resident of Cobble Hill and a senior at Packer Collegiate Institute, discussed the differences between his school and rival Brooklyn institution Berkeley Carroll: "I don't go to Park Slope much. I have friends who live there, but I think the kids who go to Berkeley Carroll are kind of cocky. The partying is also way more intense there than over here. They drink a lot more than we do, and I've heard that the drug use may be a little more." And now there's big trouble. More »
