Dartmouth's reputation - Beware.

The reason why this culture will not change any time soon is because the most influential alumni (who also tend to remain highly involved in the wider Dartmouth community) are the very people who reveled and partook in that same culture, and will stop at nothing to see it remain alive and well.

Dartmouth is a fantastic school. You and the PP are probably bitter that you didn't get a frat bid.

Lol...

NP. This is *exactly* the attitude the detractors rightly shite on. Dartmouth remains a legend in its own mind. Others have a more comprehensive and nuanced view.

Signed, an alum of one of those other small colleges that isn’t perfect but doesn’t have this particular bunghole issue.

I always thought Dartmouth was well-known for specifically this image, and that its alums/grads had similar reputations. If anything, I'm more surprised by the number of people in this thread who are discovering this for the first time.
