Hillel hosts annual ski weekend

By Kascha Semon | February 8, 1999

More than 65 students from universities across the Northeast came to enjoy the winter weather this past weekend for the Dartmouth Hillel's third annual Ski Shabbaton at Killington, VT. Hillel invited all Dartmouth students -- Jewish and non-Jewish alike -- to attend the event, according to event-chair Sean Alpert '01. "The ski weekend surprised many people, especially the freshmen, because they weren't expecting to see what they saw -- it definitely turned a lot of people on to Hillel," said Eli Diament '02, who skied on Sunday and attended two dinners hosted by Hillel. The students -- visiting from Boston University, Brown, Cornell, the University of New Hampshire, Amherst and other nearby schools -- stayed with Dartmouth students for the weekend.

By Eric Del Pozo | February 4, 1999

I have been searching for a soul mate for several weeks now. Luckily for every girl in Hanover, however, a friend of mine (who is taking a poetry class) introduced me just recently to the idea of "The Self, Seeing In His Image Narcissistic Ardor Returned." Consequently, for the past six days, I have been staring lovingly and fixatedly at my reflection in the first floor North Mass men's bathroom wall.

Black Greeks focus on community

By Sarah Rubenstein | February 4, 1999

When leaders of the historically African-American Greek fraternities and sororities at the College discuss their organizations, they don't emphasize parties, alcohol or the need for short-term social options. All four founded nationally before 1920, the historically black fraternities and sororities focus on lifetime commitments to the community -- some dealing primarily with the African-American community, and others trying to cater to their general college and national communities as well. Leaders of these organizations say joining a historically black Greek organization means commitment to a purpose -- helping others, teaching and creating common bonds of friendship. "When you become a member of our fraternity, you become a member for life," said Kesner Bienvenu '99, president of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated, Theta Zeta Chapter.
