[quote=Anonymous]As a Dartmouth alum, I find this story shocking and heartbreaking. When I attended in the early 2000s, the school had made substantive recent changes to crack down on hazing, and it showed. I was on a sports team and in a sorority, and the initiation involved optional alcohol consumption, with an emphasis on optional. It seemed like real progress had been made. I was an occasional light drinker, but had many friends who were non drinkers and they all were very happy at the school. Some still enjoyed joining for Saturday night trips to frat row and just skipped the alcohol, while others preferred quieter weekend activities. I think the key for those who aren’t into Greek life was and still is having interests that are catered to at Dartmouth- there are a ton of other great clubs (it seemed like everyone was juggling multiple clubs/activities outside of academics) - the Dartmouth outing club is incredible- and there is significant dorm-based camaraderie and a true sense of community on campus. However, that said, I would not send a kid there who is very prone to peer pressure.[/quote]
