Honor Council delegates were seen licking their lips and rubbing their hands together as they pressed send on an email that went out to all undergraduate students at Georgetown earlier today, reminding them of the importance of academic integrity. In fact, the group looked quite festive all week leading up to the email, carrying large trapper keepers to get into the spirit. 

When asked how the Honor Council planned to deal with plagiarism, Delegate Leticia Smith (COL ‘21) pulled out a leather bound scrapbook full of her favorite cases. Flipping through the pages with nostalgia, Smith paused at her favorite. “We caught this one for copying Wikipedia, and in the process found out that they were also typing words in white font to increase their word count on essays. We here at the Honor Council weren’t born yesterday.” 

Wiping a drop of blood lingering at the corner of her mouth, Smith continued, “I have been awaiting this since May. Now that exams are here, I just hope they will be as amazing as I imagined.”

Other members echoed Smith’s sentiments, nodding in earnest approval and cracking their knuckles. The group also emphasized the importance of academic resources during the busy time. When asked about which resources would be the most helpful for students, Jeremy Begley (SFS ‘20) cackled devilishly and responded, “Your academic integrity you will keep, if the Writing Center is what you seek.” Begley promptly transfigured into a viridescent serpent and slithered away into a cloud of smoke. 

Good luck on your exams!
