Connor House, a women’s eating house at the college, hosted its annual Drink Pink fundraiser Wednesday at Flatiron Kitchen. Special pink drinks – from a Jolly Rancher to Pink Cosmos to Pink Zombie Ale – were on the menu. Even the Flatiron staff got in on the act, pinning pink ribbons to their black uniforms, wearing pink hair ribbons, and in one case, sporting a tiny pink bow tie.
