Sorority women combat stereotypes of Greeks

By Karla Kingsley | May 1, 2002

In an open and candid presentation, "Dartmouth Sororities: A Look from Within," 10 sorority members spoke on a variety of issues, withholding nothing from their speeches and attempting to dispel stereotypes given to members of the Greek system. In front of a diverse crowd that included Greeks, non-Greeks, '05s and administrators, the women addressed race, body image and the Greek/anti-Greek controversy that continues to rage on the Dartmouth campus. Dara Adams '04, programming chair of the Panhellenic Council, was motivated to organize the event because, "the sorority system is representative of a huge number of women on campus and we don't get together enough to voice our opinions." Jana Borg '02 addressed arguments that single-sex organizations are exclusionary and anti-feminist.
