Each year, like clockwork, student organizers release their annual Disorientation Guide, giving Penn students a crash course on Penn’s history in West Philadelphia. The Disorientation Guide has been going since 1972, and over 50 years later, the pamphlet’s pages are filled with testimonies of activism. This month, Street talked with the founders of the Disorientation Guide and this year’s board to hear all about the decades of student activism on campus and beyond.

Yes, that kid in your math class might be able to get you into that darty, and that girl in your sorority may or may not be the heiress of that investment bank, but it’s high time we start seeing beyond the connections we can provide each other — or else the networking bug will get you sick.
