At the end of fall 2023, The Dartmouth surveyed the Class of 2027 about their views on the fraternity ban, the College’s Greek First Year Safety and Risk Reduction policy, which restricts first-year students from attending events at Greek organizations for most of their fall term. Last fall, the Greek Leadership Council, in collaboration with College administration, permanently extended the ban until November 1, according to past reporting by The Dartmouth. The new rule guaranteed that first-year students are excluded from Greek spaces on Homecoming and Halloween weekends.

It’s no secret that off-campus rental housing for students in Hanover is a disaster. We are aware and grateful that Hanover passed a new ordinance last spring at the Town Meeting creating a new position in Town government — a Rental Housing Inspector & Health Officer — dedicated to performing inspections of rental properties. The ordinance requires inspections of rental housing every three years, and problem properties that are repeatedly found to violate applicable habitability requirements are potentially subjected to an annual instead of triannual inspection. The ordinance also provides for fines for violations and the opportunity for properties to be closed to habitation should they be deemed unsafe.

Weekly, hundreds of students crowd Greek house basements to hang out with friends, play games of pong, and dance. The sticky floors and crushed Keystone cans are classic staples of fraternity life. For most visitors to a frat house, the cleanliness of the floor is the least of their worries. But some of us may wonder: Just how dirty are frat floors?

If you had asked me a week ago what I knew about the 16 student veterans at Dartmouth, I’d have blankly stared at you because I knew nothing about them. I didn’t know how many of them were on campus, nor was I aware of the many challenges they face.

At Dartmouth, students often form tight-knit communities built upon both lifting each other up and leaning on each other when needed. Put simply, students prioritize their support for each other. There are few better examples of that on campus than within Sexual Assault Peer Alliance.

We all remember the chaotic election four years ago, as then-incumbent Donald Trump faced former Vice President Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election. With the nation divided more deeply than ever while also suffering from the COVID-19 pandemic, Donald Trump proved to be an ineffective leader, and with the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection, he proved to be an authoritarian seeking to destroy democracy through violent abuse of power. Now, as we seem to be close to a rematch between Trump and Biden in this year’s election, we must address the failures of the Republican and Democratic parties to nominate leaders that voters actually want to be in office.

Dartmouth students pursue a wide range of paths after they graduate: starting a job, pursuing a graduate degree, entering the armed forces or a combination of infinite other paths. However, a number of students reject all traditional notions of a typical early career path by choosing a different option: a “gap year” after college.
