Coming from a greek system that was/is dry - and still managed to be fun - it's sad to hear GLO members go on and on about alcohol as if it's the end-all and be-all of sorority/fraternity membership. (I'm sure some will disagree with that notion, though :p )

PeppyGPhiB, it's possible that there'll be more discussion aboout alcohol use at Dartmouth in the near future. The student paper (Oct. 10) has a special "developing story" about hospitalizations and arrests that may be related to the Bid Night (or other?) activities of one of the NPC sororities.

The article by Kevin Garland in The Dartmouth
does say that some of the sorority members called 911 because they were concerned about other members. That, at least, shows sense. (As opposed to not trying to get help for fear of repercussions, which has been known to happen in other cases elsewhere.)

According to the article, the president of the Kappa Kappa Gamma chapter declined comment, other than to indicate that they were in a fact-finding mode.

"Crate also said the Enfield Police were aware that it is presently "initiation time for fraternities and sororities."

Both Kinne and Hanover Police Chief Nicholas Giaccone refused to comment on any possible hazing that may have taken place leading up to the arrest of the 11 underage members."

How embarrassing! And so sad that the local police apparently view it as part of "initiation" activities. Well, that's one bid day those new members won't forget!
