10 easy steps to making your own Keg
Miss the Keg? Of course you do. Thankfully, we’ve moved past shock, pain, anger, depression, and are finally on the last stage of grief: acceptance, and looking forward. We know that these next couple weekends will be a period of adjusting. Undergrads will hesitantly venture to new bars—Nevin’s, PCo, McFadden’s—and we’ll wonder if that hole in our hearts will ever be filled. NU Intel Video is there for those looking for new stomping grounds on Monday night. So kick back with a pitcher of cheap beer and check out our 10 easy steps to making your own Keg. If you can’t have the real thing, a DIY project will have to do.
Readers suggest occupying the Keg, transferring schools
Yes, it’s hard to believe, but it’s already been a week since Mayor Tisdahl revoked the liquor license of our favorite TKOE. The unimaginable has quickly become reality. So what are students to do? Well, that’s what we asked you, loyal readers. Some of your answers were predictable: cry, promptly transfer schools, die, laugh, and go to the Deuce. Others proved you haven’t gotten over your school-boy humor and answered “sluts” and “no one.” We think the latter is more likely. And then there’s one of you who said, “Jump off the room of NMQ, head first.” Should we be concerned enough to call CAPS? See all of the answers in our easy-to-digest graphic after the jump. more 
A week of ninjas, BattleShots, and ripped pants
Putting on a toga has all the perks of “going Greek” minus the sporadic make out with a freshman and $4 coat fee. This weekend, the BattleShots and Burnett’s came out of the woodwork, demonstrating, dare we say it, a future for partying after the murder of the Keg. Fake bouncers and ninjas said cheers to freakin’ weekend while tables were flipped and hair was whipped. Mayhem ensues, after the jump. more 
A week of Keg-pocalypse and Super Bowl preparations
We got our first big scandal of the year this week, with the closing of the Keg. We know you’re sad, but at least you can still relive the glory days. Intel also compiled some of the best reactions on social media to “Keg-pocalypse” and imagined what Northwestern’s social scene will be like without our beloved TKOE. There’s not time to get too depressed because the Super Bowl is this weekend. Wake yourself up Sunday morning and start the day off right with an Irish coffee, then follow our list of great places in Chicago to eat before the big game. Or just stay in Evanston and head to Pret a Manger, where you’ll probably end up seeing at least 20 people you know. more
Senior dreams of Beyoncé at Dillo Day, wants to start wearing ski goggles around campus
This week’s person you ought to know—a senior who hopes the Mayans were right about 2012 and would save the Keg if given the power to be Morty for a day. more
Dear friends,
Since our inception, NU Intel has fastidiously attempted to chronicle the nooks and crannies of life here at Northwestern by focusing on those places we always take for granted. Yesterday, one of those hallowed places, The Keg of Evanston, was taken from us. The time may come to take an analytical look back at TKOE to figure out it’s true purpose within NU’s vibrant social ecosystem. For now, we can only focus on those forgotten stories that lent the bar its aura, its spirit. Here we present eight perspectives on the closing of TKOE. Feel free to contribute your own stories in the comments. Cheers, NU Intel. more 
Students react to TKOE on social media
Ring out the mourning bells; our beloved Keg of Evanston is no longer. Well, technically Mayor Tisdahl just revoked TKOE’s liquor license, but what’s a Keg without booze? No Keg we want to go to—that’s for sure. Students showed their shock, horror, anger (and occasional indifference) across all social media platforms. Fortunately for those too lazy to sift through the “RIP Keg” statuses and tweets, we’ve collected a list of our favorites. Check out the best after the jump. more
Life after Keg-pocalypse
In the midst of Winter Quarter we were pining for something new— something dramatic. Little did we know that our hopes of drama would result in the death of our beloved Keg. We are still shocked. We don’t know what to do with ourselves. Where will we celebrate the end of midterms? Is it even possible to get drunk after a loss of this magnitude? We honestly have no idea what will happen, but we made some predictions. Check out what we think a post-Keg Northwestern social scene will look like after the jump. more
NU Stands with the Keg of Evanston
If you haven’t already heard the shot heard round Sheridan Road, let us inform you of today’s tragic news: Mayor Tisdahl will decide whether or not to close the Keg of Evanston by next Tuesday. Apparently, the adults down at City Hall and EPD have gotten word that underage kids frequent our favorite TKOE. So naturally, we did what any other logical, rational student organization would do if such a tragedy struck: penned a petition. Check it out here.
A week of 90s nostalgia, Onesies, and whiskers
We know you all like a good theme. And while we’re tired of jungle-themed parties (or any animal theme for that matter), we can get behind something as nostalgic as a 90′s party. For some of you, it didn’t matter what you wore because by the end of night you—girls included—ended up topless. But no matter how much you wanna just act like a kid again, green slime is no longer cute—especially if you’re stuck in a toilet paper-less bathroom at The Keg. Check out this week’s Party Report after the jump more
