<br />
'''The Lion''' (often known as the "Columbia Lion" because of its URL, [http://thecolumbialion.com thecolumbialion.com]) was a student blog launched in February of [[2013]]. It's supposed to be like [[Bwog]] or [[Spectrum]], but better, and more dedicated to humor. It shut down in December 2014.<ref>http://columbialion.com/blog/for-sale-campus-publication/</ref><br />
<br />
The Lion was the brainchild of [[Stephen Snowder]], former [[Spectrum]] editor, and [[Jake Davidson]], former Online Editor of the ''[[Columbia Daily Spectator]]''. Davidson told ''[[The Blue and White]]'', "[I]t became clear that Spec was too serious. We just wanted to be weird about it and make weird Columbia jokes"<ref>http://theblueandwhite.org/may13/cub_reporters.pdf</ref>.<br />
<br />
To protest the fact that many of the candidates in the [[CCSC]] [[CCSC Elections, 2013|2013 elections]] were running unopposed, The Columbia Lion ran their own write-in ticket.<ref>[http://columbialion.com/vote/ The Lion Party write-in ticket]</ref> To no one's surprise, they lost, but received roughly 7% of the vote, the best ever showing by a write-in candidate.<ref>[http://columbialion.com/blog/ccsc-election-lion-party-robbed-by-corrupt-system-still-most-successful-write-in-ever/ The Lion Party results]</ref><br />

<hr />
<div>'''Alexandra Svokos''' [[Columbia College|CC]] '[[2014|14]] was the editor of [[Bwog]] for [[2013]], and later became a [[Spec]] columnist and the editor-in-chief of [[Ivygate]]. She's currently working as an education reporter for The Huffington Post.<br />
<br />
==Bwog==<br />
Svokos was named editor of Bwog in January 2013, succeeding interim editor [[Alex Jones]].<ref>http://bwog.com/2013/01/04/semester-in-review-2/</ref><br />
<br />
While editor, she banned coverage of the Columbia football team from Bwog<ref>http://bwog.com/2013/10/29/bwog-says-goodbye-to-cu-football/</ref> following the [[2013 football bigotry]] scandal and aggressively covered the USenate's attempt to hold an indirect election<ref>http://bwog.com/2013/09/26/usenate-elections-timing-is-everything/</ref>. Bwog's coverage compelled them to open the election up to all interested candidates,<ref>https://bwog.com/2013/09/29/usenate-seat-to-be-filled-by-direct-election/</ref> but—as in all student government elections—very little of the student body bothered to vote.<br />
<br />
Other major stories and scandals that Bwog covered during her editorship included [[Froscanity]], the [[Major English Texts II cheating scandal]] and [[Lit Hum exam leak (2013)]], the demise of the fraternities [[ZBT]]<ref>http://bwog.com/2013/11/20/zbt-inactive-following-brothers-resignation/</ref> and [[Sigma Alpha Epsilon]]<ref>http://bwog.com/2013/12/13/saes-side-of-the-story/</ref>, the [[GREEK BΣΔΤS scandal]], and CUDems opposition to Columbia's sexual assault policy.<ref>http://bwog.com/2013/10/15/cu-dems-talk-columbias-sexual-assault-policy/</ref><br />
<br />
==Opinion==<br />
As editor of Bwog, Svokos occasionally voiced her personal opinion on major campus issues—including a proposed P/D/F policy for freshmen,<ref>https://bwog.com/2013/05/01/pdf-policy-bwog-staff-opines/</ref> attempts to build "community,"<ref>http://bwog.com/2013/04/10/wtf-columbia-building-community/</ref> and student wellness.<ref>http://bwog.com/2013/11/23/on-wellness/</ref> After her term as editor was complete, she began writing an [http://www.columbiaspectator.com/opinion/columnists/alexandra-svokos opinion column called 'Svocalizing'] for the [[Columbia Daily Spectator]].<br />

<div>[[File:Sachemprank.png|thumb|the Sachems's 2005 Lerner prank<ref>http://www.flickr.com/photos/22222822@N00/7724448/in/set-194713</ref>]]<br />
<br />
Columbia does not really have any Secret Societies (unless you count [[St. A's]], which can be pretty $ecret''ive''). If it does, then they're pretty damned secret because no one knows about them. But Columbia does have two very low-profile '''Senior Societies''', the Senior Society of [[Sachems]] and the Senior Society of [[Nacoms]], and they're pretty well-hidden from public view. Most students don't even know the societies exist.<br />
<br />
Each society taps 15 juniors each year, the Sachems by luring the candidates into an ambush where he or she gets hit in the face with pie, the Nacoms by convincing the candidate that he or she is in trouble. As of [[1954]], at least, members could be identified by the rings worn on their little fingers - Sachems on their right hands, Nacoms on their left. The Nacoms' ring has a "green snake" zigzig pattern around it; the Sachems' consists of 13 small black diamonds.<ref>http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19540302-01.2.14&srpos=26&e=-------en-20--21--txt-IN-nacoms----#</ref><br />
<br />
Society membership tends to reflect powerful student leaders across the campus, and some seats develop 'lineages', passing on from one holder of a leadership position to the next.<br />
<br />
Current members take the secrecy element very seriously, but many alumni put the affiliations on their resumes.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
There is some indication that there was a secret society nearer the beginning of Columbia's history, possibly called LNF (but what that stands for is a mystery), but little to nothing is known about it, and if it did exist, it is unlikely that it still does.<br />
<br />
The Nacoms were formed in the first decade of the 20th century, and the Sachems began as a protest group that broke away from them in [[1915]].<br />
<br />
Their commitment to secrecy has wavered over the years. 1930s and 40s issues of ''[[Spec]]'' even list new members on the front page, though the practice ended in [[1951]]. At the time, the societies engaged in constructive projects such as compiling reports on university athletics; in [[1931]], the Nacoms formed a five-member committee to investigate "commercialization of the [[football]] team".<br />
<br />
In [[1932]], ''Spec'' editor [[Reed Harris]] caused a stir by resigning from the Nacoms and publishing an editorial the next day critical of the organization, which lamented alumni control and the fact that members felt out of place not knowing the "details of the Columbia-[[Yale]] baseball game of [[1873]]". Soon after, Harris was expelled from Columbia College for his editorial line (which had included attacks on the administration as well).<br />
<br />
In [[1965]], the groups appear to have been hit with a broader crisis as numerous members resigned. <br />
<br />
The Sachems were responsible for a [[2005]] prank in which the [[Lerner Hall]] ramps were decorated with saffron colored banners to mimic Cristo's "The Gates" installation in Central Park.<br />
<br />
In [[2007]], both Sachems and Nacoms vandalized WikiCU in an attempt to remove information about their societies<ref>http://www.wikicu.com/Talk:Senior_Societies</ref>.<br />
<br />
In [[2013]], the Sachems celebrated the Sachem Centennial.<br />
<br />
In [[2014]], [[IvyGate]] published a list of current Sachems<ref>http://www.ivygateblog.com/2014/03/columbias-sachems-of-the-class-of-2014/</ref>. That same year, [[The Columbia Lion]] posted a list of Nacoms<ref>http://columbialion.com/blog/2014-nacoms-confirmed/</ref>. Then [[Bwog]] posted a lot of photos from the Sachem Centennial<ref><http://bwog.com/2014/03/29/sachems-by-your-pictures-and-not-by-your-names/></ref>.<br />

<div>'''10025''' is the zip code for southern [[Morningside Heights]] and the northern part of the [[Upper West Side]]. But it's not Columbia's zip code; that's [[10027]]. Even if you live in a dorm (like [[McBain]] or [[600 West 113th Street|Nussbaum]]) that's physically located in the 10025 area code, your mailing address will still be 10027. Confusing, right?<br />

<hr />
<div>'''10027''' is basically Columbia's zip code. Notably, [[Lerner Hall]] falls into this zip code, so all students with a Lerner mailbox have an address of the form: #### Lerner Hall, New York, NY 10027.<br />
<br />
In order to ensure proper delivery, however, it is best for students to be more explicit about where their mail is going. Either including "2920 Broadway" (Lerner's address), "c/o Columbia University," "116th and Broadway," or Lerner Hall's own zip code extension, 7164, seem to work.<br />
<br />
South of the campus, many buildings fall into the '''10025''' zip code. So if you're using Google to look for something nearby, make sure to search "near 10025" instead of "near 10027." Unless you want to end up at a [[Duane Reade]] in the middle of [[Harlem]]. <br />

<hr />
<div>'''College Walk of Shame''' was the title of the 116th Annual [[Varsity Show]], which debuted in [[Roone Arledge Auditorium]] on April 30, [[2010]] and ran until May 2. The title is a reference to both [[College Walk]] and one of the central plot points, the 'walk of shame' students make in mornings when returning home from the room of a sexual partner. The show was generally considered a success. While the Spectator's review of the show was less than lukewarm, Bwog celebrated most of the shows elements and ended its review mentioning the heartwarming aspect of the show: "Said one Bwogger, 'I actually got warm fuzzy feelings.' And for a show that’s long been essentially a giant roast of the Columbia campus, that’s no small feat." The show's short length was also appreciated by most audience members, running under two hours including intermission.<br />
<br />
The show was notable for its smaller sketch bits that recalled the Varsity Show's origins as a variety show and made fun of the [[Lerner Piano Lounge]], [[Milano Market]], and [[COOP]].The show also recalled Varsity Show history by using drag in a number in which male cast members played Barnard students. Further returning to old Varsity Show roots while also evolving the tradition, V116 moved away from the recent tradition of using [[The Blue and White]] to write the show's program and instead enlisted the original program writer, [[The Jester]], along with [[The Fed]] to co-create a program together.<br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
Life at Columbia can be stressful when dealing with the Lerner Piano, COOP rituals, and [[Public Safety]], which is why students always make Thursday a night they'll never forget (at least until the morning). With only two months till graduation, Travis has checked everything off from his college bucket list except one thing...his virginity. But when he meets charismatic [[Barnard College|Barnard]] junior Emma, sex might come second to a chance at a real relationship.<br />
<br />
Across Broadway, Barnard Dean [[Dorothy Denburg]] conspires to make sure her students act like the Disney princesses of her dreams with a new community plan.<br />
<br />
Throw into a mix a [[Medieval Studies]] major trying to fit in, a Barnard freshman in need of friends, and a [[Contemporary Civilization|CC]] teacher who's too cool to leave school, and Columbians will always risk a bad decision, even if they regret it in their morning walk of shame.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''Bari Weiss''' [[Columbia College|CC]] '[[2007|07]] was founding editor in chief of ''[[The Current]]''. She is very pro-[[Israel]]. <br />
<br />
In the wake of the allegations of the [[2004]] film ''[[Columbia Unbecoming]]'' that Jewish students were being intimidated by professors in the [[MEALAC]] department, she and several other students founded a group, Columbians for Academic Freedom, to serve as an advocate for such students. Later, she became a vocal critic of tenure for Barnard anthropologist [[Nadia Abu El-Haj]].<br />
<br />
She is currently an associate opinion editor for the ''Wall Street Journal''. She has also written for [[Tablet Magazine]].<br />
<br />
In June 2013, she married Jason Kass, the founder of [http://www.toiletsforpeople.org/ ''Toilets for People''].<ref>[http://templesinaipgh.org/uploads/Doorways.AUG-SEP.2013.WEB_.pdf#page=3 Wedding announcement ]</ref><br />

''Not to be confused with [[Tablet]]''<br />
<br />
'''''Tablet Magazine''''' is a Jewish general-interest magazine. It's basically a grown-up version of [[The Current]]. A good deal of Columbia students have gotten internships there, and a few lucky ones have even gotten jobs!<br />

'''''Tablet''''' is Columbia's multi-cultural literary magazine. It publishes issues bi-annually. It was established in spring of 2006 by members of the [[Asian Journal]] which had last been printed in 2004, who wanted to revive the Journal but with a broader appeal.<ref>[http://www.columbiaspectator.com/2006/02/07/hot-presses-new-magazines-emerge-across-campus-despite-financial-obstacles Hot Off the Presses: New Magazines Emerge Across Campus Despite Financial Obstacles], Columbia Spectator, 7 February 2006</ref><br />

'''Cynthia A. Murphy''', nee '''Cynthia A. Hopkins''' [[Master of Business Administration|MBA]] '[[2010|10]] (real name unknown) was a Russian spy, until she was arrested in June just after her graduation. Her mission while at the [[Business School]] was to make connections with high profile professors who might themselves be connected to more influential people. She lived in "deep cover" in [[New Jersey]], and extended Columbia's long tradition of harboring Russian spies into the 21st century.<br />

<br />
To commemorate the incident, [[Bwog]] published some student artwork<ref>http://bwog.com/2010/07/09/remembering-last-week-when-bschool-was-even-more-elusive-than-free-beer/</ref> of parody James Bond posters (though the second one appears to be based on the ubiquitous [[w:Anna Chapman|Anna Chapman]] rather than Murphy):<br />

<div>[[File:Columbia v. college.jpg|thumb|This flowchart made for the website [[IvyGate]] was used to summarize the administrative changes that may have contributed to Moody-Adams' decision to leave the deanship<ref>http://www.ivygateblog.com/2011/08/columbia-college-dean-moody-adams-resigns-in-protest-over-columbia-administration/#more-15534</ref>]]<br />
<br />
'''Moodygate''' is the name [[Bwog]] gave to the unexpected, sudden, indignant resignation of [[Columbia College]] Dean [[Michele Moody-Adams]]. Moody-Adams' resignation was apparently spurred by the [[McKinsey Arts and Sciences Report]]<ref>http://www.wikicu.com/images/c/c7/88994166-McKinsey-Project-Summary%E2%80%94Columbia-Arts-Sciences-Review.pdf</ref>.<br />
<br />
On August 21, 2011, an anonymous alumni leaked the follow email from Moody-Adams to [[Bwog]] and ''[[Spectator]]''.<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
Dear Friends,<br /><br /><br />
<br />
It is with a very heavy heart that I send you this news. Columbia University has begun plans to transform the administrative structure in Arts and Sciences. The planned changes will have the effect of diminishing and in some important instances eliminating the authority of the Dean of the College over crucial policy, fund-raising and budgetary matters.<br /><br /><br />
<br />
During my tenure as Dean, I have repeatedly voiced concern that changes of this kind will ultimately compromise the College’s academic quality and financial health. In my time here, I have quietly and respectfully sought the counsel of many of you about how to have my voice heard. I believed until very recently that, given the quality of my contributions to Columbia and the success of many of my efforts here, my concerns might be taken seriously. Just a very few days ago, it was made clear to me that the structural transformations intended to fundamentally alter decision-making in and for the College cannot be stopped.<br /><br /><br />
<br />
Because I cannot in good conscience carry out a role that I believe to be detrimental to the welfare of the College, I have submitted my resignation as Dean of Columbia College, effective June 30, 2012. In my final year as Dean, I will work towards a seamless transition and continue to adhere to the values that I have promoted for 27 years in higher education: academic excellence, professionalism at every level of the organization, administrative transparency and fiscal responsibility. On July 1, 2012 I will look forward to strengthening my connections to my tenure home in Philosophy as the Joseph Straus Professor of Political Philosophy and Legal Theory.<br /><br /><br />
<br />
I believe in offering my best as an administrator, educator and scholar and in doing the right things by the constituents I serve. Columbia is developing a structure that will no longer allow me to do that as Dean. I nonetheless thank you for your support during my tenure as Dean.<br /><br /><br />
<br />
Sincerely Yours,<br /><br /><br />
<br />
Michele M. Moody-Adams<ref>http://bwog.com/2011/08/21/breaking-dean-moody-adams-resigns-2/</ref><br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
After this email, [[PrezBo]] wasn't having her on for another year—and he accepted her resignation immediately.<ref>[http://bwog.com/2011/08/22/breaking-moody-adams-resignation-effective-immediately/ "BREAKING: Moody-Adams' Resignation Effective Immediately]</ref>. There was no dean in time for Convocation, which ended up being canceled anyway on account of Hurricane Irene. On September 2, 2011, Prezbo named [[Deantini]] the interim dean of the College<ref>[http://bwog.com/2011/09/02/breaking-professor-james-valentini-is-the-new-interim-dean-of-cc/ "BREAKING: Professor James Valentini Is the New Dean of CC]</ref>. In June 2012, he was officially named as permanent dean<ref>[http://bwog.com/2012/06/11/deantini-is-now-your-dean-forever/ "Deantini Is Now Your Dean Forever"]</ref>.<br />
<br />
On top of everything else, Moody-Adams' resignation came immediately on the heels of [[Provost]] [[Claude Steele]]'s resignation that same summer, which was also made on account of administrative power issues.<br />
<br />
== Aftermath ==<br />
Moody-Adams, having effectively fallen on her sword by her dramatic email, roused a year-long furor regarding [[Columbia College]]'s diminishing place within the larger [[university|Columbia University]].<ref>http://www.columbiaspectator.com/2012/05/05/2011-12-review-columbia-college</ref> After much sound and fury, including op-eds from Professor [[Andrew Delbanco]]<ref>http://www.columbiaspectator.com/2011/10/25/delbanco-says-core-threatened-increasing-class-size-calls-columbia-focus-college</ref>, [[trustee]] Judge [[Jose Cabranes]]<ref>http://www.columbiaspectator.com/2012/03/06/no-siren-song-aimed-columbia-college</ref>, [[GSAS]] Dean [[Carlos Alonso]]<ref>http://www.columbiaspectator.com/2012/02/16/teaching-and-research-columbia</ref>, and speculation about [[Deantini]] and [[The Core Endowment]], nothing happened.<br />
<br />
Alumni cooled off and got back to giving; students cooled off and got back to... doing whatever students do.<br />

'''Pi Kappa Alpha''', also known as '''Pike''', is a national fraternity founded in [[1868]], and at Columbia in [[1990]]. The national fraternity has over 220 chapters and colonies and over 250,000 lifetime initiates in North America.<br />
<br />
== 2013 pledge scavenger hunt ==<br />
<br />
On March 2, [[2013]], [[Bwog]] posted a scavenger hunt list ostensibly leaked to it by a Pike pledge<ref>http://bwog.com/2013/03/03/overseen-scavenger-hunt/</ref>. The post predictably resulted in a long thread of pro- and anti-Greek sentiments, and arguments about rape culture and whether the scavenger hunt was hazing or not. (It is worth noting that [[Student Affairs]]'s "Anti-Hazing New Member" policy explicitly mentions scavenger hunts are as a prohibited activity<ref>http://www.studentaffairs.columbia.edu/resprograms/fraternity_sorority/semester</ref>.<br />
<br />
[[File:Photo-2.jpg|thumb|The 2013 scavenger list]]<br />
<br />
The scavenger list included such items as "Nametag of a McDonald's worker," "A homeless man's shoe," and "Panties from an XXL girl." It also notably included "Video of a pledge poonspeeding (eating a pussy while wearing a swimcap and goggles)". This last item was seized upon by many blogs, including <em>New York</em> magazine<ref>http://nymag.com/thecut/2013/03/frat-scavenger-hunt-rewards-obscure-sex-act.html</ref> and Total Frat Move<ref>http://totalfratmove.com/pike-scavenger-hunt-checklist-found-at-columbia-university-new-sex-act-revealed/</ref><ref>http://www.cosmopolitan.com/celebrity/news/poonspeeding-columbia-frat</ref><ref>http://gothamist.com/2013/03/04/columbia_fraternitys_pledge_scaveng.php</ref>.<br />
<br />
The scandal resulted in a closed hearing before the [[Greek Judicial Board]], the results of which were never released.<br />
<br />
== Brothers ==<br />
