Once Upon A Time…<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Georgetown Heckler<\/em> was founded in January of 2003 by a bunch of people whose names we’ve since forgotten. They’re probably too busy doing other stuff to read this anyways so they won’t be offended. Together, these bright young men and women forged a publication the likes of which Georgetown University had never witnessed. Unparalleled in its sophistication, The Georgetown Heckler<\/em> quickly flourished in its first year and received a record low of only a single death threat throughout the entire first year. Everything has been downhill since, admittedly, as The Heckler<\/em> is passed down through the ages from one group of disturbed individuals to the next.<\/p>\n
