In its second summer, the Dartmouth Peak Performance (DP2) DRIVE program has seen its participation expand to 100 student-athletes from 70 participants last year, senior associate athletics director for peak performance Drew Galbraith said.

Your freshman year, Charlie Sheen was going on a “winning” streak, “Tik Tok” was playing on repeat across campus, the iPad had just debuted and the word YOLO hadn’t yet been coined.

You’ve taken classes you never thought you would take, befriended classmates you never thought you would meet and learned a little bit about yourself along the way. And now, finally, you’ve made it to graduation. Look around for a moment and take it in: the black caps and gowns, the green and white folded chairs, the lone pine on the stage. Take a deep breath.

In recent years, students, faculty and outside observers have linked Dartmouth’s Greek system to the perpetuation of sexual assault, with some pointing to gender segregation, intoxication and hazing as sources of sexual violence. But the existence of final clubs, undercover Greek systems, social houses and similar social arrangements at peer institutions may indicate that Dartmouth’s system does not dramatically differ from groups at other schools without a strong Greek presence, and there are some signs that Greek leaders at the College have edged toward reform.
