Never fear, dear readers, the government may have shut down, but Highbrow is still here churning out gossip and making shit work. Tell us we’re your national anthem.
Good news: the Germans have it no easier. Call it fratocracy, but it appears there was an invasion of Penn’s frattiest at Oktoberfest in Germany this weekend. Apparently, one THEOS guy, fully clad in lederhosen and completely blackout, jumped on to a table and started dumping giant liters of beer on his head. After completely soaking both strangers and Penn kids sitting nearby with his beer showers, homeboy responded to being cussed out in various languages with “It’s okay guys, I’m in THEOS.” We’ll let that speak for itself.
On to domestic Quaker traditions, there were multiple reasons to shriek at the annual Econ Scream, albeit in only one language. Amidst the fully clothed studiers, a group of enthusiastic students took to the lower quad in nothing but their birthday suits. Junk dangling, the nudists ran through the study break, allowing the freshmen to feast on more than doughnuts. We wonder… what’s the opportunity cost of streaking versus studying?
In a Round Up first, Highbrow is bringing you gossip from an unlikely culprit: the International Affairs Association. Fly away, Owls, Highbrow has a new pet. At yet another infamous Charles Plaza BYO, a certain IAA member consumed one too many, and found himself seeking some good ol’ MERT loving. Unfortunately, the MERT cyclists do not travel out that far. But, no fear! A Penn professor was there! The professor randomly appeared at Charles Plaza (possibly prompted by BYO FOMO), picked up the poor drunk child, and returned him to campus, where he could be properly MERTed. But that’s not all! The remaining International Alcohol Associates proceeded to vomit and get kicked out of every cab they hailed down, prompting someone to rent a Zipcar, shuttling pukey frosh from Charles to campus. It’ll be an international affair to remember…
TriDelt lets you be you, but Copa doesn’t let you leave without paying. After sipping on some Copa margs, a few TriDelts decided to dine and dash from our favorite Mexican mainstay. Unfortunately for our Delta Delta Delta sisters, the employees intercepted them before they could make their grand exit. They were forced to pay, and then swiftly escorted out. Throw some D’s on that bill.
