The Hot Button: February 13-19

Screen-shot-2012-02-19-at-12.58.11-PM

Welcome to the Hot Button, our latest (uncomfortably-named) feature in which we break down the best of the past week's news. Consider it a best-of compilation of the last seven days– a double shot of espresso instead of your regular cup of coffee. Ready to recap what's going on at Penn? Check it out:

5. Greekdex Is The New CollegeACB The social media void in your life that you didn't know existed is now filled by Greekdex, which allows for school-wide discussion between Greek houses. It's like the Greekier, tamer, less hateful CollegeACB, which was the new JuicyCampus, which was stupid and horrendously offensive.

4. Dan Savage Is Coming To Penn Next Month Sex columnist and "It Gets Better" founder Dan Savage will be coming to Penn to talk about his various projects on March 19th. Our commenters don't really like him. Read on for yourselves.

3. Penn's Class Of 2016 Is Quietly Ushered In Dean Furda made another one of those videos where he accepts the bestest and brightestest of the newest prefrosh and encourages them to come to Penn. The video gives us the creeps and makes us feel old.

2. Valentine's Day Is For Lovers, Or Something Like That We break down how to do VD if you're in a relationship. (Hint: Be as clingy and as obnoxious as possible.)

1. Penn Girls Are Objectively More Attractive Than Penn Boys Or something like that. We don't really "get" how this works, but facts are facts, right? After all, who knows our school better than the wanky elitist nerds over at DateMySchool?
