Apparently Theos Woodser wasn't as Texas Chainsaw Massacre–y as we led you to believe. The event was less "in the woods where no one can hear you scream" and more "The Woods Presents: Avicii," as the boys set up a giant rave in a tent for their usual crowd to enjoy. Highbrow hears multiple people got sent to the hospital from the event, so we're sure it was a night to not remember whatsoever. Thank God for the professional photographer and his artfully blurred pictures of the action, or none of us would have any idea what went on that night…
This past weekend, an alleged sprint football player brought a new meaning to "raise the roof." At PhiDelt's party this Saturday, the jock was dancing like crazy and somehow ended up pulling down the entire ceiling of the frat's off–campus house, causing massive damage and creating a huge mess. The damage was so great that we hear Campus Apartments is footing part of the cost.
Didja read the DP's coverage of UA hazing this past week? If you didn't, check it out. If you did, the saga continues. Highbrow hears from a UA source that the author of the original whistleblowing op–ed himself was an overzealous hazer. We're told that during his first year of participating in the initiation, he had to be told by peers to calm down. This past year, he apparently asked UA leaders to join in the activities but wasn't permitted to. Really puts an interesting spin on his claims that he didn't attend out of principle, doesn't it?
James Franco's talk this past weekend left most in attendance with general feelings of doubt about Franco's mental capacities, but others walked away with much, much more. The actor gave one ZTA junior his personal email address and the two have been chatting ever since. The emails are amazingly awkward, and the best part is Franco's insistence that the girl come work for him. We would make a prostitution joke, but it seems a bit mean, so we'll let you fill in that blank for yourself.
Want to read the convo? Our mysterious Franco–phile forwarded the exchange to her sorority listserv, so it shouldn't be hard to get your hands on if you know the right people — which, of course, we do. Despite the exec board's insistence that the emails stay between the sisterhood, the secret's out. They should have known the emails were too good to not share. Peace.
