Four Greek houses on probation

Tracy Wang / The Dartmouth Staff Three fraternities and one sorority are currently on probation for various social and hazing infractions, and at least one fraternity is awaiting action from the Organizational Adjudication Committee, according to representatives from the Greek system. The number of Greek houses facing disciplinary action from the College has caused some student leaders to question the effectiveness of the administration's top-down approach to working with the Greek system, according to Greek Leadership Council moderator Duncan Hall '13. Dean of the College Charlotte Johnson said that administrators and Greek Letter Organizations and Societies representatives have reached out to the GLC to work together toward a "constructive movement forward." Despite the number of Greek organizations confronting sanctions, Johnson said that the College has not changed its policies in handling violations of the College's standards of conduct. "If there are a cluster of cases involving Greek organizations now, it's more happenstance or coincidence and certainly not because we have changed our stance toward Greek organizations in any way," she said.

‘Art + Activism' links poverty and sustainability

Featuring a perhaps unexpected combination of sustainability, poverty and art, the student art show "Art + Activism" will open this Thursday in the student gallery of the Black Family Visual Arts Center. The show, which will run until the end of the term, is the result of collaborative efforts between the Office of Sustainability, the "A Monstrous Octopus: The Tentacles of Poverty" symposium team and "This Is Not a Group," a student organization responsible for running, curating and installing exhibits in the gallery. The theme "Art + Activism" originated when the Sustainability in the Arts interns and representatives from the "A Monstrous Octopus" symposium approached student gallery co-managers Luca Molnar '13 and Sabrina Yegela '13 about combining the arts with their respective focus areas. Both student groups were especially eager to incorporate their ideas with the arts to align with the Hopkins Center's Year of the Arts initiative, Sustainability in the Arts intern Anna Morenz '13 said. "We really felt that the arts can be a form of activism in terms of providing powerful visual images that get people thinking about social issues or raise consciousness about issues in a different way than say, a lecture or some of the other opportunities on campus," Morenz said.
