As a young alumna who, while at Dartmouth, never had any intentions of joining a Greek house, but who graduated with a deep respect for all that the Greek system means for Dartmouth's students and loyal alumni body, I feel I have a unique perspective on the current campus issues. I graduated from a liberal, all-female high school and was convinced that a Greek system could only be detrimental and inherently sexist. I was sure that only a college that had already abandoned its archaic Greek system could support my social ideals. Nevertheless, I fell in love with Dartmouth upon my first visit for one very simple reason: contrary to what I saw at numerous other colleges, the students at Dartmouth were happy. This was apparent when I spoke to students walking around campus, when I spoke to my alumni interviewers and when I spoke with my father and his friends from the class of '67. The campus was alive and active, and people walked around smiling. I have never regretted my decision to go to Dartmouth. In fact, I regard my time there as a gift. I graduated self-assured and happy, satisfied with both the academic and social opportunities I had been given.
