Greeks salvage image with events this week

By Nathaniel Ward | October 16, 2001

In a year that has brought much bad publicity to Dartmouth's fraternities and sororities, the College's Greek societies are sponsoring a series of events designed to show how their organizations can benefit the community. The first annual "Greek Week" is an event intended "to provide incoming students with a look at the College's Greek organizations outside of a basement context, and also to show that we have a vested interest in all facets of student life," according to Eric Powers '02, president of the Inter-Fraternity Council and a member of The Dartmouth's Sport Staff. Greek Week organizer Kate Reibel '03 said she hopes this year's events will help "shed positive light on Greek life," especially among administrators and students critical of the Greek system. The events that make up Greek Week have historically been scattered throughout the year.
