Kappa Delta national sorority has accepted the College's invitation to become Dartmouth's eighth Panhellenic sorority, according to Dean of Residential Life Martin Redman. The Dartmouth Panhellenic Council voted on Monday to extend an invitation to Kappa Delta and offer a "stacked extension" to Delta Zeta sorority, meaning it will be given an invitation when the College next decides to expand the number of sororities on campus.
The College's Panhellenic Council voted Monday night on whether to invite Kappa Delta sorority or Delta Zeta sorority to join Dartmouth's Greek system. The results will be announced Tuesday evening, Panhell President Amaka Nneji '10 said in an interview with The Dartmouth. Nneji declined to comment on which sorority was selected because she said Panhell wanted to inform the sororities before announcing the results to campus. The new sorority will be the eighth at the College. The sorority not chosen will likely be a top contender next time Panhell is interested in inviting a new sorority to campus, according to Jessica Lane '09, former Panhell president and extension committee chairperson.

College President James Wright released a statement on the matter late Wednesday night.

Despite recent setbacks in Iraq and Afghanistan, the United States remains the world's sole superpower and must reshape international institutions to address the challenges of the 21st century, Dartmouth government professors Stephen Brooks and William Wohlforth argue in an article to be published in the March/April 2009 issue of Foreign Affairs magazine. The article denies that "the rise of the rest" will soon cause the world to become multipolar, meaning that several states have relatively equal power.
