-An on-campus improvisational comedy troupe in the styling of Second City, The Groudlings, Upright Citizens Brigade (I know that YouthQuest does skits around the country, but I am more referring to an on-campus improvisational group/stand-up comedy deal with performances on-campus.)

-An on-campus humor paper/magazine in the style of The Onion or Harvard's Lampoon.

Here are some improv groups from around the country:

1. Texas A&M -- Freudian Slip
2. Suffolk Univ. -- Seriously Bent
3. Emerson College -- Swollen Monkey Showcase (Leno, leary, Vin Di Bona alma mater)
4. Northeastern Univ. -- NU&Improv’d
5. Elizabethtown Clg. -- Mad Cow
6. Ohio Wesleyan Univ. -- The Babbling Bishops
7. Boston College -- My Mother's Fleabag

(Seriously Bent, Suffolk University’s student comedy troupe, has captured the first College Improv Championships, held at the Improv Asylum on Hanover Street in the North End of Boston, defeating Emerson College’s )


Here are some Humor papers from around the country:
1. Univ. Michigan -- The Gargoyle Magazine
2. Northeastern -- Times New Roman
3. William & Mary -- The Pillory
4. Baylor -- The NoZe Brotherhood's The Rope
5. Univ. of Penn -- Punch Bowl
6. Univ. of Texas -- Travesty
7. Virginia Tech -- Monkey Wrench

Sorry Spidey--being a Christian school is all about being uptight and humorless.

Not exactly a badge of honor from the perspective outside the bubble, though I'm sure some within wear it with glowing pride.
