2022 Fall Ball Recap

“Fall Ball was one of the swankiest parties I’ve ever attended. Between the ambiance, drinks, photo booths, and music, it was hard to not have a great time. The venue was packed, which sometimes made it hard to find friends, but even if it took a while to find who I was looking for, I ran into so many interesting conversations and groups along the way. Can’t wait for spring fling!” – Dani Elwell 

Getting that yellowtail at TAO! Last Saturday SGOV and LSG hosted Fall Ball: Dress to the nines at TAO Downtown. 

This was a momentous event. Finally after this long pandemic, we are back to co-hosting events!…

2022 New York City Marathon Recap: Kelly Rupinski

The New York City Marathon took place on November 6th. It is a massive event that was established in 1970 and is always held on the first Sunday of November. It has only been canceled twice – in 2012 after Hurricane Sandy, when many runners traveled to Staten Island and Brooklyn to support recovery efforts, and in 2020 due to COVID. In 2021, the pandemic precautions limited the number of competitors to 33,000, but this year 50,000 racers were expected. The marathon grew from 100 spectators watching 127 competitors in 1970 to the largest marathon in the world, with around 2 million spectators lining the course and millions watching it over ESPN broadcasting and online streaming as well.…

Oppy News Digest

Hi reader,

Welcome back to school!! I hope you got some much needed rest over the summer. I personally did not; actually I am pretty sure you didn’t either. I hope you at least had some fun! We at the Oppy have had a rough summer since many of our veteran writers abandoned us (they graduated, but same difference), and our small board just got a whole lot more intimate (we are hiring and we don’t bite, we promise!!). While you were tiring away at your internship (daily happy hours), slogging through those summer classes (international vacations) and working on yourself (six hour Netflix binge) – you’ll be shocked to learn the earth continued to spin and somehow news kept on breaking.…
