	Report of the Greek Life Steering Committee - Overview
		A majority of the Greek organizations at Dartmouth are ready to embrace higher expectations, to work toward significant improvements and to be held accountable to their own values and those of Dartmouth College.
		As participants in the Dartmouth College community, we are all responsible for seeking individually creative and innovative ways of engaging in campus life while simultaneously serving as stewards of a common set of values.
		It is understood that Greek organizations are accountable to Dartmouth College and the Dartmouth community, to the membership of each individual organization, and to their Greek peers.

	Dartmouth College - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dartmouth was made the ninth and final colonial college when it was given a royal charter by King George III in 1769, mostly as a result of the efforts of Eleazar Wheelock, a Puritan minister, and his patron, Royal Governor John Wentworth.
		Dartmouth College Alumni Gymnasium, the center of athletic life at Dartmouth, is home of the Dartmouth College Aquatic facilities, basketball courts, squash and racketball courts, indoor track, fencing lanes as well as a rowing training center.
		Dartmouth College was among the first institutions of higher education to desegregate fraternity houses in the 1950s, and was involved in the movement to create coeducational Greek houses in the 1970s.

	Dartmouth College Greek organizations - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dartmouth College is host to many Greek organizations and a significant percentage of the undergraduate student body is active in Greek life.
		The Dartmouth chapter objected to a clause in the national fraternity organization's constitution that required all Alpha Chi Rho brothers to "accept Jesus as their lord and savior." The land and house used by the Alpha Chi Alpha fraternity are owned by the college.
		Dartmouth College lacks jurisdiction to punish Psi Epsilon of Zeta Psi's for alleged violations of its own rules or regulations." [2] Zeta Psi was, nevertheless, a College recognized student organization subject to the rules of the College, and the suspension remains in force.

	Dartmouth College \| Admissions Facts and Statistics
		Dartmouth College is the smallest member of the Ivy League – and arguably the one with the most intimate social and geographic setting.
		Dartmouth College was founded as an undergraduate institution and continues to exercise a commitment to undergrad education.
		In the College's own words, Dartmouth's mission is to "instill a love of learning and discovery in every member of its community." Dartmouth strives to make its educational experience available to all qualified students, assessing applicants on a 'need blind' basis that considers their abilities without regard to their financial resources.

	Paternalism and Illegality
		The College cannot, for example, admit students who are members of the Southern Baptist Convention, but expel students for membership in the Catholic Church; it cannot expel members of Students for a Democratic Society while allowing members of the Christian Coalition to remain at the College.
		Dartmouth students have proved themselves to be not the apathetic Gen-Xers we see in the media, nor the rowdy buffoons that the administration considers them to be.
		Rather, Dartmouth students, by rejecting the College's paternalism, have proved themselves to be people who care about freedom of conscience and association, and who oppose social engineering and authoritarianism in all their forms.

		Greek organizations all have a social service component to membership that is mandated by their national organization.
		Greeks are not so small as to be marginalized or have no impact on student life, and they are not so large that they dominate social life on campus or put undue pressure on freshmen to join in order to feel that they’re a part of campus life.
		Records indicate that while the overall grade point average of Greek organizations is impressive, the grades of a significant number of first-year students showed a decline during the pledging process.

	Policy Review, February & March 2000 -- Fraternities on the rocks (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		At Middlebury, as at Dartmouth, routine events — general complaints about Greek behavior and incidents of such behavior on the part of the fraternity members — were not treated routinely; they were instead seized upon as weapons in the struggle against the fraternities.
		Most Greek systems on campuses across the country are expected to register their social events with an administrative arm of the college and seek official approval from collegiate officials for their membership recruitment.
		Greek letter organizations were stamped out at Princeton under the reign of Woodrow Wilson (the Greek organizations were eventually replaced with a different, albeit similar, social network called eating clubs.) These new underground fraternities are organizations unrecognized by the school’s administration.

		That they continued to use Greek letters in their names was certainly not unusual in light of the existence of Phi Beta Kappa of 1776 and many others.
		A Dartmouth freshman in 1846 described the societies as "the cause of division, envy, and malice.
		Dartmouth did not enforce its 1840s ban on fraternities as Princeton had, and by the mid-1850s the societies' public standing had improved.

		After some dissension among the trustees of the college, the New Hampshire legislature revised Dartmouth's original corporate charter 1769, placing the administration under the control of a state-appointed board.
		The trustees sued the new secretary of the college, William H Woodward, for recovery of the official seal and documents.
		The Supreme Court voted 4 to 1 to uphold the original royal charter, ruling that corporations have contractual obligations and therefore are protected from impairment by states.

		Greek organizations also agreed to send more representatives to the Undergraduate Inter-Fraternity Institute's summer programs, which provide ideas on how to improve individual houses and the system as a whole.
		In the original IFC proposal to the College, the prospect of keeping certain public aspects of pledging out of the classroom was floated to the administration, but that was later removed.
		Greek leaders were high on Larimore's decision to approve their proposals, and offered praise for the administration.

	yaledailynews.com - Yale's social life is a model for Dartmouth (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Dartmouth President James Wright's determination to end his school's Greek system as it stands is supplemented by a plan to institute a system of residential college clusters, comparable to Yale's residential college system.
		But Dartmouth's plan to alter its Greek system within five or seven years is not likely to give time to build the elaborate social network that might be needed to support a vibrant social life outside fraternities and sororities.
		Namely, Yale's residential college system has been a part of the college long enough to establish a series of traditions that are nurtured through intramural sports; interaction with the faculty fellows, residential college masters and deans and even secretive recruiting practices in some colleges.

		The average GPA for all Greek affiliated undergraduates was 3.24 in the fall, a mere.04 points below the overall undergraduate average of 3.28.
		"Dartmouth students are talented, whether they choose to join the Greek system or not," Redman said.

	Waynesburg College makes its Greek life history
		Waynesburg College stood tall in the 1850s by opposing slavery and granting degrees to women.
		The private college 50 miles south of Pittsburgh has outlawed fraternities and sororities, saying the members-only social clubs were at odds with the school's goals of scholarship and campus unity.
		College administrators placed Waynesburg's three fraternities and two sororities on probation in the spring after five members from each took part in the Greek Games, a series of drinking and eating contests that a beer company sponsored at a Waynesburg tavern.

		Many individual Greek organizations are also preparing their own reports.

	The Terrible New Hazing Policy
		The muted response from students, and student leaders in particular, is unfortunate, for in combination the proposals present a significant threat to the future of student groups in general, and Greek organizations in particular.
		In no area of the College’s administration is it more important that students determine who will exercise their authority than on a judicial board of this nature.
		Dartmouth is in a period of making major changes; it’s understandable that, for all the good intention of those working on them, mistakes may be made.

		Recognizing the importance of centralized dining to the College culture, the report recommends the expansion of Thayer Dining Hall and licensed alcohol vendors to cut down on the need for students to drink in CFS houses.
		Above all, the College "should be a place where learning is paramount," diversity is stressed and students are offered broad freedom in social and residential options.
		The Greek system's dominance "creates a psychic divide and a pervasive sense of two cultures at Dartmouth: the affiliated and unaffiliated," the report states.

	Dartmouth pleads for Greek system -- Monday, February 22, 1999
		However, in the aftermath of this announcement, many trustees have said or hinted that this will end the Greek system "as we know it." President James Wright made it clear that the college was going to follow through on the trustees' interpretations of these principles, even if it went against student opinion; and it did.
		A campus poll by The Dartmouth said 83 percent of undergraduates –; an overwhelming number – favored keeping the Greek system as it is, and a majority of those responding were unaffiliated.
		And although coed, the eating clubs too would suffer – part of the Dartmouth plan is the elimination of "the abuse and unsafe use of alcohol." At Princeton parties, I've seen the strong monitoring system at the eating clubs, but odds are your administrators haven't.

		As Greeks around the country try to revamp their image through philanthropy and awareness campaigns, the scrutiny of the few who perpetuate these myths continues to threaten the entire system’s existence.
		Following the lead of Bowdoin, Colby, and Middlebury Colleges, trustees at Dartmouth College, whose Greek system was the inspiration for Animal House, announced a new policy in February to force single-sex fraternities and sororities to become co-ed.
		To shake their negative image, Greeks partner with national philanthopies such as the Red Cross and March of Dimes to show their dedication to giving back to the college and community.

	Kappa Beach
		Kappa Kappa Psi is a fraternal organization that promotes the advancement of college and university bands through dedicated service and support to bands; comprehensive education; leadership opportunities; and recognition; for the benefit of its members and society.
		Seizing upon this idea, ten members of the Oklahoma A & M College (later to be known as the Oklahoma State University) Band, led by William A. Scroggs and their director, Bohumil Makovsky, drew up a plan for a national honorary society for college bandsmen.
		With the local organization complete, a corporation was formed which petitioned the Oklahoma Corporation Commission for a charter.

		Rush is one of the most hotly debated aspects of the Greek system, and yet many freshmen -- and even some of their more seasoned classmates -- do not understand completely how rush works.
		For many years, the College has used rush to regulate Greek organizations, punishing them in times of dissonance with later rush dates and more restrictions.
		Despite ongoing efforts to make the rush process fair and accessible, sorority systems at Dartmouth and across the country maintain that the practice of guaranteeing bids is an impractical and all but unattainable goal.

		With the Greek system on its way out and alternative social options the words of the day, it was determined that White River Junction’s watering hole and strip club, Cactus Jack’s, must be explored.
		Hordes of television crews and reporters swarmed onto Webster Avenue, Dartmouth’s fraternity row, Friday, May 11, in the wake of the College’s decision to permanently derecognize Zeta Psi fraternity.
		Many students interviewed by The Dartmouth Review agreed that the derecognition of Zete was merely a sign of the times, as Dartmouth has become increasingly hostile to Greek organizations.

	The Harvard Crimson :: News :: Dartmouth College May Withdraw Frat Support
		And if the college were to withdraw its support from CFS organizations, it would first have to create additional living space for students who now reside in the Greek houses where they are members, Carney said.
		CFS organizations provide about 15 percent of the beds on campus--a statistic which led the steering committee to recommend the construction of additional residence houses on campus.
		According to Christopher T. Carney, president of Dartmouth's Alpha Delta fraternity, the faculty council's proposals would be easy to impose but would have detrimental effects on smaller, non-residential Greek groups that rely on the larger organizations for their funding.

		Amazingly, it seems that at Dartmouth, a candidate is responsible for the actions of his supporters.
		Dartmouth's own independent thinktank, ingeniously named the 'SLR' (South Living Room) came to the conclusion yesterday that the only place on campus where Dartmouth students have the right to be comfortable is either in their own rooms or in Greek organizations of which they are members.
		Dartmouth College prizes and defends the right of free speech and the freedom of the individual to make his or her own disclosures, while at the same time recognizing that such freedom exists in the context of the law and responsibility for one's actions.
