Floorpi is a pretty cool place. Compared to some of the other halls, the characteristics that define us aren't quite as... ostentatious.

This was replaced later by "MELLOW!!!!!". This was replaced later by "", because no single adjective can describe us as that would be overly reductive.

"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.

"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."

The Basics

Floorpi is the third floor of the west parallel of East Campus. Have fun, don't die on hall, and we will sing memes with you.

Floorpi is a pretty cool place. Compared to some of the other halls, the characteristics that define us aren't quite as... ostentatious. We'll take board games and tea time over power tools and explosions most days of the week. In an attempt to promote our less rambunctious form of awesome, the adjective of choice was "mellow." This was replaced later by "MELLOW!!!!!". This was replaced later by "", because no single adjective can describe us as that would be overly reductive.

We have many different kinds of people who do all kinds of different things. Among the things we do are playing board games (Hanabi, Tichu, Spirit Island, Penguin Jrap, Sleep Sort...), puzzles, tea time, video games, mafia, going on food mobs, eating fruit, running hall feeds, watching movies and TV shows on the projector in the lounge, and math. [Math is dead, we killed it.] More detailed links:
