Hay grlz. If the garments pictured below look like something from your ensemble, know that You Are Wesleyan.
At least according to ModCloth, a “mod retro indie/vintage” online clothing store which is marketing the pink one as “Wesleyan Blouse in French Class“, and the green one as “Wesleyan Blouse in History Class“.
Um. Talk about niche marketing. [...]
The Wesleyan website has been needing an overhaul for awhile, and after yesterday’s unveiling, it clearly got a major one. It seems more functional than it used to be, and it looks easier to find things than before. It’s more interactive – this Academic Sampler thing is cool.
But why is the entire site now an [...]
Hey Freshman! Welcome to our line of posts orientating you with information you won’t get in regular orientation week. Back in the early days of Wesleying, Holly and Xue founded Wesleying on seven hills of Middletown, and some of their earliest posts were about helping freshman get oriented to the social environment of Wesleyan University. [...]
In case you missed it, President Michael Roth sat down for an interview with the Argus last week to talk about what he thinks he’s accomplished during his two years in office (budget-balancing, forming A Long-Term Plan) how Wes has changed since he was a student here thirty years ago, and what he plans for [...]
Where was I when this was going on? And would my “worn jeans – thrift store – $12″ have made the cut?
The New York Times Magazine salutes Wes in all our glory:
“Fresh out of orientation, Wesleyan University first-years are already proving to be model students.”
I don’t know if you’ve gathered from what I post lately, but I’m doing a ton of research on college admissions for my thesis. Running through some newspaper articles tonight on Factiva, I came across this gem of a piece describing one family’s perception of Wesleyan that, while printed over a month ago, is just [...]
The Wesleyan Connection reports:
“Our reputation was one of respect from most everyone,” recalls Bill Moody ’59, P ’91.” We did not come across as rich or preppy or jock-filled or hyper-social or racist or nerdy. We did not dominate a given group or project or sport.”
Moody, author of the recently-published book, A History of the [...]
Wesleying is an interesting topic for discussion at Wesleyan. From what we can tell from our site stats is that most students read it daily (or some students are reading from six different computers a day which is sort of weird but ok, we’ll take it). A lot of faculty and staff are slowly admitting [...]
Speaking of Wesleyan in the media, Middletown Press ran an article today on the editors of Incite Magazine.
Also, there’s apparently a new Middletown blog called Right of the Middle which aims to document everything we do at Wesleyan that somehow encroaches on the blogger’s sense of morality. That’s fun.
The Wesleyan Connection captured some great daytime shots of this week’s snow creations:
“
Ever wonder what those call numbers all over campus are from? It’s Index.
Index is a large-scale temporary installation that examines the library’s role as an index to the world outside, focusing [...]
Valerie Gillispie, one of Wesleyan’s Archivists, just notified us that Olin now has a Special Collections and Archives Blog! If you’re interested in old photographs or Wesleyan’s history, be sure to check back as they add more stuff!
Presenting: Everything you will ever learn on a campus tour.
This will be on the exam.

So there’s like a shit ton of wespeaks in the Argus this week about chalking and activism and identity and revolution and disney lyrics. Great, I say. Who the fuck doesn’t love the Argus full of Wespeaks?
And while if you asked me personally my opinion on the whole matter of chalking (hell, if you asked [...]
Hall-Atwater is only two stories high, so the view isn’t remarkable.
From the roof you can get into the machine rooms. DON’T ENTER IF YOU HAVE LONG HAIR OR LOOSE CLOTHING. Many of the machines have dangerous exposed, rapidly spinning parts.
Also, the machine room leads to another part of the roof that contains a ladder that [...]

You Know You Go To Wesleyan If…
–When you go to use the bathroom, you don’t even look at the sign on the door anymore.–You have a favorite side in the Argus/Hermes debacle.–Prometheus ceases to be known as “those kids who spin fire” and [...]
Some of these should be obvious, but I can’t sleep, so whatever.
You:Prefrosh are technically prospective students still in high school (other schools call them Prospies, but don’t you fucking dare utter that word here), but some people keep calling students who have already matriculated “prefrosh” until the minute they step onto campus during orientation, whereupon [...]
