Raunchy e-mail reveals International Relations Club debauchery

The delegate from Slovakia
Georgetown delegates brilliantly command debate in committee, but still know how to have a great time outside of debate.
That’s from a Model United Nations article last semester by the Georgetown International Relations Club’s Chair, Jasdeep Singh. By the looks of an e-mail that accidentally was sent out to the whole IRC listserv, Singh wasn’t kidding about having a great time outside of tournaments.
The e-mail is too perfect to not include in all its no-one’s-watching detail after the jump, but here are the highlights:
- Subject line: “IRC…..Gets me drunk for free” weekly update.”
- A juicy description of IRC guy’s night:
We invite you to join us fellow men as we enjoy beer and hot women at the local strip club, yummy whors d’oeuvres and cocktails will of course be served!
- An actually funny description of IRC training, including a session on grinding.
But the true jewel of the e-mail has to be its note about NAIMUN, Georgetown’s high school UN conference. This takes the Triple Crown of inappropriate e-mailing, managing to leer at high school and GW students and brag about underage drinking in only one paragraph (emphasis added, full text of the email also after the jump):
Want to promote your club to an open and interested audience of nearly three thousand horny high school students? Then, come table dance or show cleavage at NAIMUN XLVI! On the evening of Friday, February 13th, NAIMUN will be hosting an event called Hilltop Madness to get our many delegates (many of them potential Hoyas) excited about what Georgetown has to offer, including lots of free alcohol and proximity to GW females. Village B 47 will be offering its regular service of getting underage people drunk and an escort bus service will be provided to take Grant and American high school students who are too intoxicated home.
Hey, at least there’s an escort bus. Tonight, Singh sent out an e-mail (also included below) apologizing that the message had been sent to the entire listserv. It doesn’t look, however, that it was actually Singh who sent out the first e-mail.
Now, the Voice is the last organization that should be complaining about racy internal e-mails . But this is too perfect an opportunity to pass up. When you consider that the IRC’s famed recruiting, vaunted by Singh in his Voice article, means there are tons of non-IRC members on the listserv, the potential for inside jokes to become public is huge.
If you enjoyed this post, similar pleasures await you in EcoAction’s listserv promotes petty theft and when GW student Facebook messages go public in FarceFarceFarce.

IRC Weekly Update
February 02, 2009
I want to briefly THANK all of you who attended McMun and witnessed the destruction of both the other delegations and my dignity. Our story will surely be recounted to little freshlings for centuries to come. Seriously though we rocked shit, and on top of it all won with dignity- waiting a full 18 seconds after our victory was announced to break into the Fight Song.

In this email we have the link for AGMUNC (All-Georgetown Model United Nations Conference), which will be held from 11:00 AM – 5:00 PM on Saturday, February 24th. This is MANDATORY for all members who wish to not come off as creepy while interacting with the opposite sex. We are excited to say that we will be holding a single General Assembly discussing Dance Floor Etiquette and Grinding Technique. We will also be holding various crisis committees including recognition of the Come Save Me Dance and a joint crisis of You Look Slightly Different with the Lights On. Also included will be discussion on the Refugee status of Bedroomely Displaced Persons. More information will come later, including a background guide and instructional video to assist you all in preparation for the conference courtesy of Leah and Amy. Performance awards will be given to each delegate on a scale of 1-10, with 1 the quality of Gilbert’s performance at the club, and 10 being Nora’s ability to judge others when drunk. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at dkd7@georgetown.edu

Details: We ravaged other delegations
Once again the Hoyas showed their willingness not only to beat down other schools but to win with humility, grace and honour. Despite the SecGen putting us down during closing, we jubilantly went on with a high spirited rendition of the Fight Song as well as a less heard, but equally meant rendition of “Fuck, I can’t believe we won” from the rest of the delegates. If you wish to witness Georgetown in action please watch this video the Secretariat made of Eitan Paul in committee:

I speak for everyone in saying we had a fantastic time at conference and cannot wait to get drunk with southerners at VICS. Also Jeff is awesome.
Yours,

[IRC] Regarding Previous List-Serve Message
sent by Jasdeep Singh on 2/5
Dear Members of the International Relations Club,
On behalf of the Board of the Georgetown International Relations Club, I apologize for the inappropriate email sent to general members last night regarding the recent trip to McMUN. The email was distributed to the general list-serv without board approval. These statements do not represent the views or opinions of the Georgetown International Relations Club. We sincerely apologize to anyone who was offended by the email and have taken measures to ensure the list-serv is only used for official club purposes in the future.
Best,
Jasdeep Singh
Chair, Board of Directors

Hey Will,
Suprisingly enough, Jasdeep Singh did not in fact write the email. A current student (myself) wrote it and an alum with access to the IRC’s secure site sent it to the listserv. It actually says this at the top:
“E-mail sent by Dalton Dwyer, 2/5:”
Needless to say I made it up in satire, sorry this didn’t translate for you. I’m not a ranking member of the IRC and although I would find it hilarious if they actually did have a “Men’s Night” at a strip club, I’m pretty sure they don’t. As well as that, the other episodes I made up eg Naimun, are (surprise, surprise) equally fictitious. Sorry you didn’t get the joke, and after reading your other blog article about GW, do you think you perhaps may have missed the joke there as well?
I’m glad you found it so funny and would like to say thanks to all the other people who found it hilarious as well,
Yours,
Dalton Dwyer.
Dalton, if you read carefully Will does make clear that he knows Singh didn’t send the email. P4:
“Tonight, Singh sent out an e-mail (also included below) apologizing that the message had been sent to the entire listserv. It doesn’t look, however, that it was actually Singh who sent out the first e-mail.”
Also, the version of the email we post includes “E-mail sent by Dalton Dwyer, 2/5:”
Pretty elaborate prank–What I take away from this is to never cross an alumn with free time!
True- sorry Will I guess I read it too quickly. The first paragraph is kind of implicit of him, but you’re right I should have read it better.
Thanks for the compliment- I thought it was pretty funny too.
Will, still scoopin’ the Hoya even from Cairo? Props to you, buddy!
Thanks, but I doubt they were after the story. Glad you finally decided to start reading now that I no longer edit the blog.
Dalton, I don’t think the GW Facebook messages were jokes. And I also realize guy’s night does not actually consist of a strip club.
[...] the apology email that followed the IRC listserv antics of one Dalton Dwyer’s wasn’t enough for the Georgetown International Relations Club [...]
[...] after having made what I criticized as a hypersensitive effort to atone for one alumn’s email prank, the IRC still faced punishment, and the Funding Board only allotted them funds for one Fall [...]
