Each and every lodge star has a shelf life

By Gyra Chan | September 15, 2011

There comes a very terrifying moment of self-realization in everyone's college career when it dawns on them that they are no longer the same 130-pound freshman they once were. Now you all know that no one loves lodging more than I do; in fact, you may recall an article I wrote about it last year in which I highlighted how glad I was that Richmond had this slightly disgusting yet infinitely entertaining lodge culture to offer. But, it seems like something may have happened.

Response to A Letter to Women from WCGA

By admin | September 15, 2011

Dear fellow students, In regards to recent campus dialogue about how we view one another and sexual violence, we would like to address the importance of respect, responsibility and acceptance of one another. It is important to keep in mind that there is not a typical Richmond student; our campus has become exceedingly more diverse. We all come from different backgrounds and hold different beliefs.

Reaction to President Obama's speech: Conservative

By admin | September 15, 2011

I want to begin this article by stating that the University of Richmond's College Republicans were honored to have President Obama choose to speak at Richmond, or as one of my professors said it, "Eat your hearts out UVA, Virginia Tech and William & Mary." Many of our members, myself included, attended the president's speech.

The guilt of gaming

By Katie Toussaint | September 15, 2011

I spent the better half of my Labor Day morning dancing to the Pussycat Dolls. I'm not the most skilled when it comes to interpretive dance, so I was utterly spastic when I tried to imitate the movements of the dancing silhouette on the screen. The Wii Dance disc was whirring in the disk drive and, according to the score, the 7-year-old boy I was babysitting was out-grooving me. I lost that round and relinquished the controller to the 4-year-old when Ke$ha kicked in for the next sequence of shimmying.

From salwars to skirts

Dear Brendan, You may respond by saying that because I am wearing shorts and a t-shirt while writing this, you won't be able to take me seriously.

Irene's knocking on your door, so answer

By Gyra Chan | September 1, 2011

Fifty mph gale force winds, "Come on Eileen" looping, several bottles of wine, one brave China Panda delivery man, various instances of loud female shrieking, a case of PBR and four frumpy outfits later, the ladies of 601 can officially say they made it through Irene with minimal bodily damage and a much better understanding of storm preparation. Here are a few things that we learned... Lesson one: When you stock up on decorative candles, be sure that you have some form of fire readily available.

A Letter to Women

By admin | September 1, 2011

Dear women, You may respond by saying that men cannot speak on women's clothing, but I assure you that it has become as much an issue for me as it is for you.

Syllabus week blues, conversation cues

By Gyra Chan | August 25, 2011

Well Richmonders, after a hot, long and often boring summer, we are finally back on the campus we know and love with all the people we know, love and Facebook stalk... Now don't get me wrong, I look forward to seeing all of my friends just as much, if not more, than the average student.
