Dartmouth Student Newspaper Calls For End Of College's Greek System
The Dartmouth
The Dartmouth's message is clear - "Abolish the Greek System," the headline reads - and is likely unpopular at a school where more than half of all students are members of a fraternity or sorority. While the newspaper acknowledges that "Greek life is not the root of all the College's problems or of broader societal ills ... as a system, it amplifies students' worst behavior."
As The Dartmouth argues, "It facilitates binge drinking and sexual assault. It perpetuates unequal, gendered power dynamics and institutionalizes arbitrary exclusivity. It divides students - the system as a whole separates freshmen from upperclassmen, men from women. Membership draws lines among friends."
Dartmouth's Greek system has often come under attack over the past few years, as the editorial details, most recently with the publication of former Dartmouth Sigma Alpha Epsilon member Andrew Lohse's memoir of his time in the fraternity.
