Help! DeGioia is my Quarantine Roommate and He Keeps Calling it the “Bro-tel”

By

There is a knock on the door— a chilled-out, playful rat-a-tat. When I open it, I can’t believe my eyes. Georgetown University President John DeGioia is standing at the door, suitcase in hand — and is that a neon St. Pauli girl sign?

“Excited to join you in the bro-tel, man!” he exclaims, plugging in the sign, which fills the room with a masculine glow that only a scantily-clad barmaid can produce. “I took the liberty of bringing some decorations. We can totally make this a man-cave!”

Over the following hours, DeGioia sets up the ultimate male environment— a Fathead of Rob Gronkowski, a ping pong table, a glass-encased basketball signed by Patrick Ewing, and last but not least— a mini fridge filled with Busch Light.
