Jerry Herman, 18, was inducted into Castle two weeks after arriving at Penn. The reason for his premature induction was, to quote, “enormous potential…[based off] his exemplary and unorthodox use of boat shoes and Kraft mac and cheese during NSO.”
Samantha Liu, 19, friended every person in the official Class of 2016 Facebook group, then friended their friends, then friended their friends, then friended their families, then their professors, and then their professors’ friends, like a loco one–woman Ponzi scheme.
Dear Froshies,
NSO is like a dream come true, isn’t it? Finally, you get the independence you craved, the popularity you deserved and the alcohol poisoning you earned — truly, an experience like no other.
To my friend who blacked out over Spring Break and screamed about her Grandma Roda: Jamaica will always remember how “she kept those ghetto kids in check.”
To our roommate who had sex on the kitchen table: There are some things you just don’t send out on the house textserv.
To my little: You are one HUP trip away from being their Foursquare mayor.
To the football player I brought back to Quad: Looks like you caught more than just touchdowns this year.
To the central staircase in College Hall: Thank you and 3rd floor classes for getting my ass into shape.
To the girl I always see wearing black on Locust: From one curvy woman to another slightly curvier woman, black is indeed slimming…but it doesn’t work miracles.
To the guy who lived in Speakman three years ago that I promised I’d have sex with under the Button my senior year: How’s next Thursday at midnight?
To the Indian ultimate frisbee player: Next time, I’ll let you score in both endzones.
To the chubby kid who masturbates in the Huntsman bathroom stalls: “Vigorous wiping” is only plausible for the first 10 seconds.
To SPEC: You think you’re a Mr. Know–It–All, but all we wanted was A Moment Like This.

Place a Chipotle burrito on the table. Gently twist off the orange cap of the Elmer’s Glue and turn the bottle upside–down, allowing for the viscous white liquid to make its way in a vertical motion down to the tip.
