Get in shape, explore the fine art of pickling and avoid the craziness that is Rush. 

– For endurance runners who don’t break a sweat running on the mall anymore, look into these upcoming D.C. fall marathons. Not only do you raise money for a great cause, but you also get everlasting glory and bragging rights.

— The recent pickling craze at local restaurant is a sure sign that D.C., once a haven of the career ambitious yuppie, is being infiltrated by hipsters.

– Rush begins this week for both sororities and fraternities at GW. If you’re curious about where all the girls disappear to this weekend, or why all the frat houses are serving steak, check out the Hatchet’s own Greek Life Guide.
