• Tuesday brings free popcorn to J street and Bingo night to HellWell.


• On the Vern, Wednesday night brings GW's version of American Idol. The winner will get to sing the National Anthem at Colonials Invasion.


• Represent your college in Thursday's Clash of the Colleges in the Hippodrome as the six different GW schools, in teams of six, face off in a fierce bowling competition.


• Friday brings the return of the highly anticipated Colonials Invasion with a tailgate cookout on G Street prior to the event. Also, rapper Fabolous will be headlining the event as the men's and women's basketball teams are introduced to the GW community.
