Frat Review: Walkthrough edition
Wow, do I love when a big pastrami sandwich dribbles its sauces and gosses into my little lap.

James Joyce’s ‘The Odyssey’: PKT edition
My vagina. My vagina. My vagina. Now that that's out of the way, I went to Phi Kappa Tau this past Friday and experienced the most true and embryonic form of Dionysian mirth. If you poke a hole into an egg's yellow yolk, yellow yolk from within doth floweth. Upon entering the PKT house, the […]
