Arguably, sorority recruitment is no one's favorite 6 days of the year. When considering other annual highlights such as the first 6 days of Hannukah, shark week, or even the last 6 days of finals when you're stuck on campus because you have one exam on December 22nd, it's obvious that rush pales in comparison. However, recruitment has many unique and valuable qualities that, quite frankly, go unappreciated. Instead of practicing these traditions only once a year, we should never stop:

Just in time for winter break, OZ released their annual holiday playlist today! While one featured song might be known for some questionable content (seriously, a girl asking "What's in this drink?" while trying to leave is never good), it's a timeless classic as well as an OZ personal favorite. Check it out below!

So, you've come back from eating a bunch of quality food over Thanksgiving break and see your own pantry looking pretty empty in comparison. You could always go grocery shopping, but let's be honest, no one actually likes FroGro. Good thing we at UTB are really expanding our services: we're now providing unlimited food delivery to qualifying members!

The weather has been super weird these past few weeks. If you don't know how to handle the sudden fluctuations in temperature and wind but also don't want to be that guy wearing cargo shorts in the middle of winter, UTB is here to help. Let us tell you what to wear these next few weeks-- trust us, we've done this before.

In case you didn’t hear, Penn Football beat Cornell 42-20 this past weekend, bringing their record to a solid 6-1— that one loss being the Penn-Princeton game that you definitely didn’t go to. More importantly, it meant that they clinched the Ivy League Championship for the second year in a row. Exciting?! Well, kind of.

Unless you totally live under a rock, you knew that Mark Ruffalo (The Incredible Hulk, social activist, and all-around DILF) was supposed to speak on campus for Penn Democrats tomorrow-- until he cancelled on us. In his defense, he abandoned us in order to go to Standing Rock, to aid those protesting the Dakota Access Pipeline, but we're still disappointed that he isn't coming. Mark Ruffalo was just what Hillary needed to secure Penn's votes-- now, how do we know she's the right choice?

So let's go back to a seemingly minor decision many upperclassmen were making around six months ago: which high rise to live in this year. Since they all pretty much look identical, does it really matter which one you live in?

Want to celebrate tonight but don't know where to go? Well now you do! Hillel is opening their first ever gender-neutral bathroom-- and they're throwing a launch party for it. To be honest, we're not quite sure what a bathroom launch party looks like. There seems to be a "tasting," which might be a little concerning (will there be urinal cakes?), but regardless we expect it to be the #wokest party tonight. Here's to more gender-neutral bathrooms -- and pregaming opportunities-- on campus!

You may want to think twice about your 99 cent ride to DRL tomorrow, because UBER IS NOW ILLEGAL IN PHILADELPHIA.

Ever worry that Ben on the Bench gets a little lonely from time to time because everyone is too horrified to sit with him? Well have no fear, because this photo clearly shows otherwise-- in a scene no one has ever wanted to imagine! Why has this act of desecration taken place, though? We can only speculate:

Another day, another listserv scandal! We'll set the scene for you: it's the second week of classes and you're taking The American South, trying to fulfill your History & Tradition sector AND the Cultural Diversity in the US requirement (nice steal). Then, you get an e-mail addressed to your entire class from your favorite College dean/math professor. Daddy DeTurck's message? He just wants everyone to know that he Thinks Topology is Fucking Good. And we'd definitely agree, if we actually knew what Topology was.

Looking for a trendy new BYO spot because you've embarrassed yourself too many times at Banana Leaf? Desperately need to spend your last 300 dining dollars before the end of the semester?

It’s the last day of classes, and SPEC-TRUM is tonight, folks! In the past, the concert has typically occurred just after spring break, but this year SPEC has decided to hold it at the very last minute— so you have another reason to blow off studying for finals!

As we're almost positive a small minority of you must know, Earth Day is upon us. Yes, you heard us correctly: and you better be RECYCLING your red solo cups because today, April 22nd is that one day of the year you are supposed to care about our planet. But how far should you go? UTB has weighed the pros and cons of celebrating Earth Day-- see for yourself:

In order to make up for a Fling unanimously described as mediocre, SPEC has quickly grabbed a slightly more famous person to come to Penn— that’s right, Andy Samberg will be in Houston Hall next Monday at 3!

Spring fling is tomorrow (officially, at least), and although SPEC has kindly informed us that the weather is predicted to be pretty dang good, we know to expect the unexpected. Heck, it snowed last week and has been raining on and off ever since, so who knows what will happen in the next 24 hours. That's why we've put together a comprehensive guide on what you can wear no matter what comes up.

UTB is back with our health code violation of the week...but brought to you by some drunk strangers this time, not a dining hall!

Nostalgia alert! On Wednesday April 20th, the Penn Museum will be answering our personal call to bring back the 90s by organizing their own version of Nickelodeon's Legends of the Hidden Temple. If you happen have no idea what the show is (it originally aired from 1993 to 1995, after all), Legends of the Hidden Temple was a game show based on the Indiana Jones movies, in which pre-teens competed in a series of physical and mental tasks that took place inside a "Mayan temple." Despite some high-key cultural appropriation, the show definitely deserved more than its two-year run, and now the Penn museum is giving it a one-day revival-- but only for adults ;)

Because Penn students don't have a thousand alternatives when purchasing overpriced caffeinated beverages, there will soon be another option available to you right in the heart of University City. A brand spanking new Caffe Bene, from the widely popular South Korean-based coffee chain, will be opening on 38th and Chestnut.

In case you didn't already know, spring break is only a week away, which means that almost every professor in every class is giving out some kind of exam within the next five days. So naturally, plenty of Random Dudes were out this weekend, delaying studying until the last possible moment!
