Hottest PARTY of the Year: "Open Bar!!! Srry No Alcohol"

Remember when famous prefrosh/Internet savant "Stephan" invited everyone in school to his Carman dorm on the first night of Orientation for a party? No?

Well it turns out the party's been relocated -- to an undisclosed location! "Why go 2 a small dorm party, or a frat. party, when you can go to the biggest Party in the city?" asks our Stephan, we believe rhetorically.

Nearly 1200 people (four guests are pictured above) have been invited to the fete, which takes place in "N.Y.C." -- that's "Now Your [sic] Coming."

Anyway, we'll see you all on August 28th, at An Undisclosed Location, for the PARTY so hot it must be capitalized. We'll meet you by the alcohol-free open bar. "The city is really strict about that, but can you say Pre-Game lol."

him a break...he'll become miserable here soon enough. first he'll get bumped out that no one shows up to his party even though he invited 900 people. then he'll get shit for his uber enthusiasm for the next 4 years, only to realie that he would have been happier going to a state school and contracting herpes from some girl who looked ok after a few drinks. instead he ended up at columbia.

it is very rarely okay to be apologetic for the actions of others.

it is certainly never okay to be apologetic for the actions of others which are benign, have no direct effect on you and only serve to bring your own insecurities to the surface.

taking initiative. it's about upperclassmen being annoyed with the tendency of freshman to come into college thinking they own the place and are the greatest thing to walk campus. i think it's more to do with that than anything else, really. it's just like high school where every new freshman class was like "omg we're the coolest we rule the skool." it's just annoying.

This is ridiculous. I am rooming across the hall from this guy...

I completely agree (even though I am Class of 2012) that too many freshman everywhere think that it's their time to shine on campus - that they will rule the school. We don't really know anything, do we? I have respect for upperclassmen.

But that doesn't mean you should completely ridicule us. Maybe just a bit, sure. But there are limits to everything.

This guy though? Keep ridiculing.

August 2, 2008 at 12:16 PM
Incoming freshmen, most of us didn't have all these newfangled electronic means of obsessing over our future homes before we arrived. No campus blogs, limited or no facebook interaction, and consequently a nice clean slate and definitely no Stephans to inspire ridicule. My advice to you is to try to ignore these things—which are manifestly unrepresentative of campus—for the next month. Don't get into the habit of visiting this site so often, as it will disappoint you more often than it informs. It's a useful way to keep up with happenings on campus, sometimes, get a nice summary of a lecture you couldn't make or find out why a street was blocked off for the day, but you'll read less of it when you actually have classes and life to worry about. Hopefully, anyway.

I don't think it's so much of an insecurity issue at play here. Columbians are independent enough that most of us don't give a damn about people's class years, let alone our own class year. We just feel kind of sorry for you guys looking at all this ridiculous public anxiety. As someone else said, just chill out for the next few weeks, enjoy your high school sweetheart a bit more, and try not to think about your future classmates until you've met them and started enjoying them too.
