Fraternities should have been eliminated. They are a stain and a moral blemish on the name of the college.<BR/><BR/><BR/>I think that individuals (students and alumni alike) who define their experience at Dartmouth College on the basis of fraternities really didn't get a handle on the Dartmouth experience at all.<BR/><BR/>If you define your experience by frat parties and drinking then you wasted your four years at the college.<BR/><BR/>If I were president of the college I would do an improved Student Life Iniative and I would mandate the elimination of all Greek Life on campus. We have such a gigantic problem with housing so I would knock down all the fraternity houses and erect state of the art dorms in order to guarantee 100% on campus housing for all students for all four years.<BR/><BR/>Dartmouth should not be defined by "Animal House" or take pride in the unofficial mascot of Keggy The Beer Keg. That is disgusting. The college experience is supposed to be about the people we meet, the experiences we have inside and out of classes, and what we as individuals learn during our time here.<BR/><BR/>I know full well that many alumni dislike President Wright for the Student Life Initiative and that the college would lose much money if the Greek Life system were eliminated...but I feel that alumni who dislike President Wright or would not give money to the college if the Greek system were ever eliminated should not have been Dartmouth students in the first place.<BR/><BR/>The Greek life system is a blemish, a disgusting and immoral stain upon our campus. And the sooner it is eliminated the better it will be for the college as a whole.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5036978896178117588.post-3629278476526259572007-05-20T05:27:00.000-04:002007-05-20T05:27:00.000-04:00"Today's call for change" was a call for the Trust..."Today's call for change" was a call for the Trustees to choose a new President and replace Wright and his crew of cronies. Has anyone at the senior levels of the Adminstration been here for less than 25-35 years? Folt, Scherr, Harper, Sateia, Nelson, etc. haven't worked outside of Hanover in decades. Even the new Dean of Admissions has worked in the College admissions office for 20 years!

Do you think the trustees will remove him, or just that he will be unpopular?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5036978896178117588.post-78646804738419364412007-05-18T11:26:00.000-04:002007-05-18T11:26:00.000-04:00i'm not so great with the horse metaphorsi'm not so great with the horse metaphorsDavid Nachmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08467960851266307551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5036978896178117588.post-21617098601859983342007-05-18T10:41:00.000-04:002007-05-18T10:41:00.000-04:00it's free rein, like a horse.it's free rein, like a horse.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
