Slam, Wow!
Slam, Wow! is an RSO that was started in Spring 2024. Activities such as slam poetry and slam dancing are prevalent at its events, which are held on certain Fridays throughout the semester in various locations. While Slam, Wow! tries to take advantage of spaces across campus, the Goat Room and that-one-room-with-a-pool-table in Bryant basement were both popular during the 2024-2025 academic year.
Events are advertised via flier and newsletter. To join their mailing list, one must find their table at the Purple Key Fair or contact one of the organizers directly (famously bothersome as said organizers only check their emails when Whitman's has salmon). Fliers can be found across campus, often in Resky or Schapiro (look up).
Anecdotes
The following anecdotes are weird occurrences that are believed to be related to Slam, Wow! but are not confirmed to be. To find out about what really happens at Slam, Wow! events, go to one.
April 25th, 2025. Weird sounds, voices, and music were heard at Cole Field around 3 AM. A large group of people were spotted slam dancing in a baseball diamond to what appeared to be live music and slam poetry. The logistics of this function are ambiguous. The possibility of the source hallucinating this event has not been ruled out.
January 17th, 2025. Slam, Wow! took over a late night WCFM show. Someone (presumed to be the host) began spouting slam poetry live on air. The impressive 14 WCFM listeners could hear heavy bass and music in the background. Residents of Prospect reported loud music and noises coming from the basement. At least one resident called in a noise complaint to CSS, who interrupted the broadcast toward the end of the hour. CSS and WCFM declined to answer when asked for comments (no one bothered reaching out to Slam, Wow! leadership).
October 11, 2024. Strange noises were heard in the distance at Haley Farm. It is suspected that a Slam, Wow! function occurred in the wild; whether this event had been planned specifically for Mountain Day or just happened to coincide is unclear.
