GLBT students find support in sororities

April 3, 2008

Editor's Note: This is the second in a three-part series examining the experience of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender students in Dartmouth's Greek community. As many female Dartmouth students use the sorority system as a way to enhance their social life at the College, women in the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community have also turned to Greek organizations as a forum to express themselves in a way they may not be able to elsewhere on campus. According to students interviewed by The Dartmouth, sororities have made a number of efforts to remain sensitive to their GLBT members. "In this day and age you have to recognize that in your sorority you're going to have girls who are members of the GLBT community," Abby Reed '08, former president of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority, said.

New Hanover market offers Asian fare

By Julie Kim | April 1, 2008

Elisabeth Ericson / The Dartmouth Sonny Kung '11 used to travel to Dartmouth with three days' worth of Chinese food from New York to sustain his cravings for Asian food, but the opening of Yiping's Asian Market in downtown Hanover may put an end to this ritual. "I'm excited to be able to cook with stuff I know how to cook with, instead of just boiling pasta," Kung said. The lack of local Asian food supplies was also an inconvenience to the store's owners, Russ and Yiping Weed, who had to procure Asian ingredients from a market in Manchester. "There is an Asian market in Lebanon, but it's more of an Indian grocery," Russ said. Yiping's Asian Market stocks Chinese dry and frozen goods, in addition to a smattering of Japanese sweets and some Korean and Indian items.
