"DOC trips are like, totally the most fun EVER!!" This is all that I had ever heard about these wilderness initiation rituals that are unique to our college on the hill.
It is often said that a first impression is one of the most important factors in the formation of opinions about a person or a thing.

Reggie Schickel / The Dartmouth Staff Glamorous, enviable and high-profile -- these adjectives might come to mind when thinking of Croo members for Dartmouth Outing Club First-Year Trips.

If Robinson Hall is an apartment building, The D and the DOC are like neighbors. When they have barbeques, the smell makes our mouths water.
'08 Male [on First Floor Berry]: If I wanted to take Adderall, do I have to snort it or can I just take it like a pill? '11 nerd: Hey, that girl over there has a pi shirt on.
Author of three senior theses, Rhodes Scholar and steady boyfriend of five years, Adam Levine '08 is someone who knows what it takes to make a pipe dream come true.

Whether your last final was streaked, a blur of pale flesh ran by while you were grabbing coffee in Novak or the pong team beside you got Golden Tree'd, you've likely seen nudity at Dartmouth on more than one occasion.

If you're writing a thesis on "Mesopheric Meteoric Dust" you probably went to space camp as a kid.
