Div Dictionary: GPSCY


GPSCY (n.): 1) The Graduate and Professional Students’ Center at Yale. 2) The only place I can find $2.00 PBR’s in this town.

New Haven’s got plenty of places to get your drink on, but few of them as cheap (read: Yale-sponsored) at the Graduate and Professional Students’ Center at Yale, or simply GPSCY (pronounced “gypsy”). Although the “center” part of its name implies it must perform some other services, it’s website betrays that GPSCY is essentially a bar. A really cheap bar, that is. The bar is actually called “Gryphon’s Pub,” but call it that and 99% of divvies will have no idea what you’re talking about. Its just GPSCY.

GPSCY runs many weekly specials, including weekly Karaoke, and Monday Night Football specials, but the one you’ll really care about is 2-for-1 Wednesdays. From open to 11pm, when you buy one drink, you’ll get a ticket you can redeem later that night for another drink. Wednesdays are also the traditional Div School night – you’ll usually find a crowd of us downstairs by the bar, or outside talking to Forestry kids if it’s a nice night.

To get into GPSCY, you’ll need to buy a membership at the beginning of the year. This’ll run you less than $10, and means you never pay cover. They’ll stick a little sticker on the back of your Yale ID card, and you’ll have to bring that AND your ID that proves you’re 21+ to get in every time.

Don’t worry – we’ll be introducing you to GPSCY during BTFO. And if you’re very, very good, Sandra and I will do a karaoke number for you.
