While we commend this move to address hazing, one of the biggest perceived problems of the fraternity system, we urge the presidential steering committee to assume that no meaningful change results from the announcement when the committee recommends further reform. With no means to enforce the proclamation, and no added incentive for new or older members to stop hazing, announcing the abolition of pledge term is not an all-encompassing solution.

The pre-medical track should no longer be just a track. It should be a major. I know what you’re going to say. You’re going to say the classic line from admissions officers. Dartmouth is not a pre-professional school. While I agree, at some point that abstract idea cannot outweigh the very real costs of failing to accommodate pre-med students, particularly the sacrifice of flexibility and exploration of other interests.
