By Claire Groden | February 6, 2012

Hazing policies similar to peers'

By Daniel Bornstein and Ashley Ulrich | February 2, 2012

While Dartmouth's Greek system has come under fire for allegations of fraternity hazing and subsequent administrative inaction, the College's peer institutions maintain comparable anti-hazing regulations and procedures for dealing with violations, although a higher percent of eligible Dartmouth students are affiliated with a Greek organization than at similar colleges and universities. After Cornell University's Greek organizations came under national scrutiny last winter when a student died at a fraternity pledge initiation event, university president David Skorton responded with an opinion column in The New York Times urging colleges and universities to address hazing and binge drinking on campuses. "We need to face the facts about the role of fraternities and sororities in hazing and high-risk drinking," Skorton wrote in the column.
