Fixed that for you.

It's NOT a Dartmouth problem in the least. It happens at tons and tons of schools across the country. It is more disturbing that it happens at Dartmouth because you'd think the girls are a little smarter than to buy into that crap - especially when you read why some of the sororities are formed &/or why they went local. Feminism in the best sense of the word, IMO.

It is NOT worse than anything else on the planet because it is happening to your daughter.

Also, if Dartmouth took any institutional responsibility for the varying reps of the sororities, it would more likely take the form of randomly assigning women to chapters, or getting rid of the system altogether. A Greek system eating itself alive would probably give them a giant boner.
