[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey Dartmouth Alum,
Hanover called. The development office wants to know where it can send back the $50 you gave last year to the annual fund? C'mon, people, Dartmouth is NOT like the other Ivies that tend to be populated by large numbers of geeks -- thank goodness. Excessive drinking and partying has been an American college tradition dating back multiple generations. If that "scene" is not for you or your darling offspring, then you have a few choices available. I think Dartmouth is trying to balance a lot of interests and not just legislate away "problems" that may actually be learning experiences for the student body. [/quote]

How is drinking until you end up in the ER, risking death, a learning experience?  How is being encouraged to drink until you vomit and then drink some more, a learning experience?

Alcohol poisoning is deadly.  This is not typical campus partying.  When the Rolling Stones article came out there were articles from other alumni saying that it was accurate (and some saying it was an exaggeration).  I wouldn't send a DC there.[/quote]
