[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The thing I found most disturbing about the Rolling Stone article was that it made it seem like the hazers are connected to powerful alumni who can help a great deal with their future.  The article made it seem like there was pressure to pursue that aspect of the social life at Dartmouth, particularly if you want a future in business.  It was this connection with powerful alums that made the hazing/heavy drinking culture so entrenched.

I have no idea if this is true, but I would be interested in hearing from peeps who do know.  There is a drinking culture lurking at all colleges, somewhere, but the article made it seem like what made it different at Dartmouth was the way it had become institutionalized because of the connection between those particular frats and alums.  Any truth to that?[/quote]

I took that away from the Rolling Stone article, too. That you pretty much have to join a frat if you want a future in business. As with much in the article, however, it was hard to tell what was true, and what was either the kid in the article justifying his choices, or the writer sensationalizing to make a more shocking story. So that's probably the major question I came away with, too.[/quote]
