’20: “This is perfect sandals and socks weather.”
Are you excited to devote hours and hours of your day to rush week? Are you an eager ’20 who just cannot wait until next fall when you, too, can ~rush~? No worries, my friends. Why limit yourself to only one form of Dartmouth’s favorite fall activity when you can try eleven (!!!) new alternative forms of rush?!?
“OH MY GOSH! I luuuuuv your shoes! Becky — get over here! Don’t you just luuuuuv her shoes?”
It’s that time of year again… womens’ rush. Over the next week women will be running all over campus making small talk, smiling until their mouths hurt and collecting names in booklets like they’re Pokémon. Yet, men’s rush lasts two days and seems to mostly involve playing pong and shaking hands. So, what exactly do guys think happens at womens’ rush events?
Baker tower is hands down the most recognizable symbol on campus. As a freshman, Googling pictures of Dartmouth yielded Baker tower, smiling white people and Sperry’s with socks. On the first day of freshman year I anticipated its familiar façade, but alas, it was covered in a giant and probably unnecessarilyexpensive tarp with its picture on it.
Week two is upon us, and you’re already so done with school. You wish you could go back to the simpler time of DOC First Year Trips, a time when it was socially acceptable to eat multiple blocks of Cabot cheese and not shower for five consecutive days. If you relate to this nostalgia on a spiritual level, Dartbeat has just what you need: your guide to reliving Trips on campus.Sunrike all six floors of the stacks
Rejection. Trying new things in college is easy…as long as you make the callback
’20: points to FFB, “That floor is too quiet for me.”
Maya Poddar ’17:Who are all these kids Wait, when do classes begin? I feel old as hell
Freshmen:
Well, I’m finally a Dartmouth senior, and my younger brother is finally a freshman (at Princeton though, ew). Talking to him made me realize just how much a person can change during their first three years of college. Leading up to his first day, he claimed that he would never drink coffee. I naively said the same when I entered my freshman year—but then I discovered KAF. Here’s my take on just how different freshmen and seniors really are.
Do you enjoy reading and writing humor? Are you tuned in to campus events? Do you have a talent for finding the perfect GIF for any situation? If so, Dartbeat is the place for you!
’19: "I'm not crazy. I love myself."
When Dartmouth decided to renovate Baker Tower, I doubt anyone considered the enormous problem it would cause: depriving us of a backdrop for those classic “I’m back!” or “Look, it’s autumn!” profile pictures. Without a photo of me at the one place that’s recognizably-Dartmouth, how am I supposed to subliminally let everyone back home know that I haven’t flunked out yet? Could there possibly be an alternative to the coveted shot in front of Baker Tower? Probably not. But, unless you’re up for posing in front of the library as it stands now and captioning the photo, “Yup, this actually is Dartmouth,” you’re going to have to look elsewhere.
This year’s Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Hero fundraiser, held this past Sunday, had over 2,700 participants and raised over $775,000 and counting for patients at the CHaD, an increase from the $700,000 raised last year.
Student voices in the upcoming election are more important than ever, Democratic Rep. Annie Kuster ’78 said yesterday at a question and answer forum hosted by the College Democrats.
Changes in Greek recruitment this fall have led to questions about possible fluctuations in membership. Two Panhellenic sororities no longer participate in formal recruitment, and the derecognition of Alpha Delta and Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternities reduced the number of Interfraternity Council houses from 15 to 13.
There has been a trend of declining contribution since 2010. Six years ago, 99.9 percent of the graduating class contributed to Dartmouth’s senior class gift. Last June, that number fell to 31.3 percent.
