What's HapPENNing?

Is Halloween still hapPENNing? Let's hope not. Are midterms still hapPENNing? Potentially. Is the Ivy League Snapchat Story still hapPENNing? Definitely. Follow along as we break down what else is going on this week on – and off! – campus.

Jim Kenney, Philadelphia's Next Mayor  

When? Tonight, 7 p.m.

Where? Cohen G14 (Terrace Room)

Why? The election isn't until Tuesday, yet this guy is just assuming he's going to win because Philly tends to lean a little to the left. Shake his confidence by showing up in a "Make America Great Again!" shirt. 

Bring? An ounce or less of weed. Remember, it's decriminalized in the 215!

College Republicans and Women's Political League: PA State Rep. Martina White at Penn 

When? Tonight, 8 p.m.

Where? Williams Hall 1

Why? Maybe she's actually Martina McBride, and she just goes by her maiden – or married – name? 

Bring? That "Make America Great Again!" shirt – we think you'll fit in better here if you wear it. 

SPEC Connaissance & SPECTRUM Present: An Evening With Serena Williams

When? Wednesday, 8 p.m.

Where? Irvine

Why? In case Drake shows up. No but really, Serena Williams is a bad ass bitch and we're super excited to hear her speak. 

Bring? Questions (you can submit yours via a Google Doc on the FB event page)! Please, though, no lame queries about whether or not she's still calling Drake on his cell phone.

SPECTRUM + Jazz & Grooves Present: Tory Lanez, SPZRKT & Cousin Stizz

When? Thursday, 7 p.m.

Where? The Rotunda (4014 Walnut Street) 

Why? Fans of Meek Mill will supposedly like Tory Lanez. And if Meek Mill isn't a hometown hero, then we don't know who is. 

Bring? Your IPA cheatsheet so you can figure out how to pronounce SPZRKT's name. 

International Careers: A Panel Discussion and Dialogue

When? Friday, 2 p.m.

Where? ARCH 208

Why? You've already gotten three final round rejections, and you still need a fucking job. 

Bring? Your friends from Theta. They'll know what's up. 

Philly Pick of the Week

JoJo @ Coda, Philadelphia

When? Wednesday, 7 p.m.

Where? Coda (1712 Walnut Street)

Why? Does THIS answer your question? No? How about THIS?

Bring? An Abercrombie logo-emblazoned fur-lined hoodie and low-rise flared jeans. Let's relive the JoJo glory days in style. Bonus points if your thong peeks over the waistband of your jeans.
