Quarto and Sigma Nu joined forces Thursday night at the Sigma Nu fraternity house to celebrate, “Bros, Brose, and Broetry,” an event honoring male-oriented writing. According to its website, Quarto is Columbia's oldest undergraduate literary magazine. The organizers from Quarto said that this was part of their initiative to appeal to a diverse audience.
Though the themes of some of the readings, which were performed by students from Columbia campus, were certainly very “macho” in nature, the pieces that were read came from a wide range of genres including rap, music performances, poetry, and“appropriation art,” in which a student read his ex-girlfriend’s blog.
