...travel in a herd, for God’s sake. And guys, if you hear of a party in something called the Fox or Porcellian don’t even bother. Girls: Same rules as before, but sluttier. Remember ladies, this is the semester to go to the Delphic, hook up with a senior guy, and then join the Radcliffe Union of Students and spend your remaining time at Harvard hating on final clubs. After a night of hard partying (i.e. sweating, awkwardly bumping up against each other, and drinking warm Busch beer, a.k.a. horse piss with bubbles), you?...
...lower taxes, for example, isn't up to him. But partly because interest rates, which the Fed does control, fundamentally affect the way consumers and businesses spend money and partly because Greenspan solidified the standing of Fed chairman as a demigod, every thought that Bernanke utters is treated as Delphic. "The U.S. economy appears to be in a period of transition," he told Congress, with the robust growth of the past three years moderating, which in turn should help keep inflation in check. The stock market rallied, anticipating an end--if not in August, then perhaps in Septemberto...
...publisher of The Courier-Journal.Like the patrician Kennedys, the Bingham dynasty was devastated by a series of deaths, even while ruling Louisville’s television and newspaper properties.

As he would throughout his life, he struggled with reading.“He was dyslexic, which caused him a big problem...
...have been an amazing experience for East and West Coast liberals to actually see the people they claim to champion. This is especially true for those in leadership positions (largely filled by men) at various political organizations. Instead, the only men on my trip were three members of the Delphic. Liberals chastise final clubs for their supposed regression and ignorance of non-elite society, but in this case, their inconsistency was very difficult to ignore. The opportunities for American college students to study abroad has fostered a craze to jump ship for a semester or a year and study overseas...
...Humanity’s Housed party in Eliot. In another d-hall, Hungama and its accompanying South Asian music enticed a sizeable number of dancers until well past midnight! Mini-skirt-clad girls swapped Uggs for thongs (flip-flops, you pervert!) and wandered between parties at the A.D. and Delphic. Jon Carpenter ’07’s birthday in Leverett might as well have been dubbed “Dins Gone Wild,” as the a capella group paired brand-new harmonies to good ol’ hits by Lil John and Usher...
