YikYak Reps tabling at Frist

The YikYak rumors are true: YikYak campus representatives are at Princeton. For now, they're occupying a table at Frist, handing out free swag from sunglasses to ping pong balls to coozies.The campus reps said their visit isn't a response to the controversy this past weekend that translated into chaos all over YikYak, though they were aware of what happened."We had a box full [of gear], and knew we needed to visit at some point," one of the reps said. "We know about what happened the other day, and thought this was a good time to come down."Most of all, they said, their deadline for visiting Princeton - one of many campuses they're required to visit - is tomorrow, April 10. (Apparently YikYak is so in touch with college culture that just like us, they procrastinate until the last day.)The YikYak team had apparently been eyeing Princeton's feed for a few days after the weekend drama. According to one anonymous user that emailed YikYak asking for Princeton's feed to be featured on the app, YikYak Support considered shutting down usage of the app on campus. The YikYak campus reps are on campus until 10. Their most coveted piece of swag are YikYak socks, which the reps said are only for users with over 10,000 "Yakarma," which users earn by giving or getting upvotes on posts in the app.
