Campuses across East Coast welcome spring with festivals

By Sasha Dudding | May 17, 2012

As Dartmouth students prepare for this year's Green Key festivities, students at other schools have already celebrated their own spring weekend events, which generally involved large concerts and parties as well as children's activities such as moon bounces, according to event organizers and students at some of Dartmouth's peer institutions. Brown University's Spring Weekend, held April 20-22, featured a carnival, parties hosted by fraternities and local bars and concerts by artists such as Childish Gambino, according to Brown freshman Eva Gonzalez. "This year, we had Fratty in the Ratty,' which meant that the Ratty [the dining hall] was open for food until midnight and there was also a crazy party with the kitchen staff and everyone just being insane," Gonzalez said.

What Green Key Means to Seniors

By Heather Szilagyi | May 17, 2012

While there are not many traditional activities associated with Green Key Weekend as there are with Homecoming and Winter Carnival, seniors interviewed by The Dartmouth reflected that the novelty of the weekend lies in the focus on being outside and having fun during the day. Many students cited Block Party, an outdoor event hosted by Phi Delta Alpha fraternity, and "Gammapalooza," a dance, music and rap concert at Chi Gamma Epsilon fraternity, as two of their favorite events. Allison Clark '12 said that Block Party is a fun, outdoor event on Webster Avenue that allows students to "hop from friend to friend and see a lot of people." Block Party allows students to enjoy the weather and spend time outside, Brian Seitz '12 said. Gammapalooza is "easily the best concert on campus every year," Dave Seliger '12 said. Grace Tiedemann '12 said the party features "a really good DJ" who is not a student at the College, dancing outside and people climbing into and out of the windows of Chi Gam.

Alumni flock back to campus for Green Key

May 17, 2012

While Dartmouth Alumni Council's annual spring meeting and the Hill Winds Society's Green Key alumni event will attract involved alumni to Hanover, Greek houses' events, class reunions and other informal gatherings will also draw a significant group of alumni back to the College for Green Key weekend, according to students, alumni and event organizers. Compared to other big weekends, Green Key brings a younger set of alumni to campus, and overall alumni attendance seems to be lower. "It's about seeing your friends and enjoying the spring," Kate Lyon '05, who has attended the majority of Green Key weekends since her graduation, said.

Is Chivalry Dead?

By Gardner Davis | May 10, 2012

Chivalry is a weird term. It conjures up images of knights who joust, quest and slay dragons to win over the girl of their dreams.

Debunking the Dartmouth Man

By Sara Kassir | May 10, 2012

They say that behind every stereotype is some form of truth. Maybe I have too much faith in my male peers, but for their sake, I sincerely hope this isn't true. If you ask any Dartmouth student to describe their classmates in general, they'll probably throw around complimentary adjectives such as "intelligent," "passionate" and "ambitious." Yet as soon as you ask for descriptions of the typical Dartmouth man, the image that comes to mind isn't entirely positive.

The Group MEN-tality

By Tyler Bradford | May 10, 2012

Being a man at Dartmouth might not seem particularly challenging. In terms of campus issues, people tend to focus more on women, who didn't come to Dartmouth until the 1970s and faced a great deal of adversity because of the College's all-male legacy.

Being and Dartmouthness

By Kip Dooley | May 10, 2012

When I came to Dartmouth, some of my closest friends were women. But by the end of my freshman year, I barely spoke to women at all outside of passing hellos or frenzied, convoluted exchanges in the basement.
