OK, unless NH is a lot different than here, I don't think they serve alcohol at roller rinks. How did the pledges get there? Were they on a bus or did they meet them at the roller rink? If it's the latter and they showed up drunk how could the sorority be at fault?

In this article from the other Dartmouth thread, it said there were empty bottles of wine and other alcohol at the roller rink that the owner of the rink said had to have been brought in as they do not serve alcohol. But you're right, it could be difficult to prove if alcohol was provided to the new members by the chapter or if the new members took it upon themselves to drink before the activity.

Whether or not hazing occured, skating while drunk is just plain stupid. There is a good reason why most skating rinks don't serve alcohol. It seems like terrible bid acceptance event planning in this case.


Sorry to hijack, but that website referred to in the above post has a great article in the Dartmouth Mirror about the school's greek system. Check it out.

As I recall, an earlier article said that the event was supposed to be alcohol-free, which would have been in keeping with the NPC Unanimous Agreements: VI. . . .Each College Panhellenic Association shall prohibit the use of alcoholic beverages in membership recruitment and Bid Day activities. Each College Panhellenic shall prohibit the participation of men in membership recruitment and Bid Day activities. (2C & 2D) (see NPC web site).

If it was a Bid Day activity, or any chapter-sanctioned activity for that matter, and alcohol was at the event, the sorority is responsible.

KLPDaisy;
I was about to post the same thing as someone else, in another thread within this RM group, once seemed to indicated that they thought and believed that only Fraternity's hazed.

However I may have added: or or or to it.

Just found a bunch of interesting news links on this event/matter:

Including this:The arrests come at the end of Dartmouth's fall rush season and amid several other incidents involving fraternities and sororities on campus. Kappa Kappa Gamma, for one, was already serving a four-week punishment, due to end Oct. 22.
