Death of the Dartmouth Greek System is Now Inevitable

To the Editor:

Prediction: When I return for my five year reunion in 2002, the Greek system as we know it will be dead. Dead, dead, dead. Ding dong the witch is dead! I shouldn't be celebrating yet, considering all the nasty letters I will be getting tonight, but I can hardly help it. Two years ago, the mere suggestion that Greeks should limit their parties to their own friends -- that is, to make parties invitation only -- resulted in insults over blitz and an annoyed column by a former president of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Now, the Greek system is finally facing the inevitable. It's nice to see Dartmouth maturing.
