It was just 11:35 PM when studiers started drifting into Butler 209 and perching themselves on ledges and chairs. 209ers, futility be damned, started Shh-ing the newcomers. One such 209er was one-half of Chromeo (the half that attends Columbia), though he soon made a quick exit. At midnight exactly, the spirited Columbia University Marching Band made their entrance as they played the CU fight song. Butlerites, amazingly, not only knew the words, but sung along.

Overheard on College Walk, late last night:

Guy: Well YOU go to Columbia! Shouldn't YOU know where all the parties are?

Girl: Yeah. But it's just a shame you're not here on Orgo Night.

Guy: What is it? Wait- doesn't matter. I wouldn't want to go.

Girl: (angrily) Well its not like you would have a choice. You don't go to Orgo Night. (pause) It's more like Orgo Night goes to you.

Tonight at 11:59 pm in El Butler. Be there, or don't be there.

Ah, Orgo Night, that which pisses off many a disgruntled grad student and brings a little cheer to many a CC or LitHum studier. This year, an avidly procrastinating Bwog strives to chronicle the fun as it happens. Bear with us as we try to get (most-likely superfluous) pictures and funny overheards up as soon as possible for you people who missed out. Photos courtesy of correspondent Maryam Parhizkar

11:44 - Security are stationed around the Butler entrance, and one of the wrought iron gates is closed. Overheard: "Hah, maybe FoxNews will do a story on this to show how much Columbia kids don't study."

11:59 - CUMB has arrived! Calling themselves the "Columbia pussies." Bwog can't help but notice- there's a violinist?

12:02 - Minutemen bit! "CTV threw a raging kegger with the royalties they received from their video clip... and at least one student got a kick out of the event."

12:06 - A little awkward dancing here and there.

12:07 - Zvi Galil bit! Nominate him for president of Iraq. "He would remedy the Shiite hegemony by offering a drawing for three iPods." Somehow segues into Shakira's "Hips Don't Lie." Saxophonist pulls it out for that Eastern flair.

12:11 - Vladimir Putin bit? Revelers are puzzled. And Putin bit turns into... E.Coli bit! And... "Fly Like an Eagle"! We're still puzzled.

12:14 - Gay Jews bit! "I knew my boy was a fagela since he was the best-dressed boy at his bar mitzvah." Mary Cheney, John Kerry, Mark Foley, and Karl Rove get implicated. "Sweet Child O'Mine" in honor of Cheney's "immaculate lesbian conception."

12:20 - Crazy sex at Columbia bit! "Surfaces and Knots teaches us about rope bondage... Organic Chemistry is a masochistic class." Anal sex on CTV! Miriam D. bit! "[Anal] Way You Want It."

12:24 - Core bit! The other schools are pissed at the College's elitism, so Quigley answers, "You don't have to read Solon to understand we have a categorical imperative... [insert other CC references]." Barnard/HomeEc joke. Somehow... "Shaft."

12:28 - The Grand Litany of Orgo Sex Jokes.

12:29 - And they're off to cavort around the grounds.
