HS students seldom attend frat parties

By Maggie Shnayerson | May 18, 2001

Though high school students living in other college towns across America may frequent university parties, students at Hanover High say Dartmouth parties are probably the last place they go on a weekend, let alone on Green Key. "Believe it or not, we have other things to do," said one high school senior, who preferred to remain anonymous. Hanover High students host their own parties, he said, and because all those who attend know each other from school, those gatherings are much more enjoyable for high school students. High school students told The Dartmouth that negative relations between Hanover High students and Dartmouth students discourages fraternization between the two on Hanover's streets, let alone in fraternity basements. The anonymous student did say that he attended Alpha Delta fraternity's renowned and prominent lawn party during Green Key his sophomore year in 1999. "I thought it was fun, I mean, we were sophomores in high school, of course we thought it was fun," the student continued.

Parties, games part of Green Key's 100-year history

By Alison Schmauch | May 18, 2001

Despite the fact that many current Dartmouth students perceive Green Key Weekend as not having the same historical significance as other big weekends, the springtime celebration has had a long and rich history since its inception in 1929. During Green Key weekends past, students have danced at sedate formal dance functions, competed against brothers of other fraternities in singing contests, participated in human chariot races -- even participated in piano stomping contests. The weekend's long and diverse history began in the spring of 1899, when members of the class of 1900 held the first Spring House-Parties weekend.

Greek houses reach out to community

By Kelly Cameron | May 17, 2001

Greek houses contribute more to the Dartmouth and Upper Valley than some students may realize, with members recording thousands of hours of community service and educational and social programming for the entire campus. "26,000 hours of community service were recorded for the 2000 calendar year," Acting Assistant Dean of Residential Life, Cassie Barnhardt said. While, the Coed Fraternity and Sorority System has standards outlined for programming and community service in order to encourage houses to give back to the community, in many cases houses choose to go beyond these minimums.

Louganis speaks on gay life

By Andrew Marnell | May 17, 2001

In an interview with The Dartmouth as well as in a speech to students in Alumni Hall last night, Olympic Gold Medalist Greg Louganis spoke of his life as an elite diver as well as his experiences following his athletic career as an HIV positive gay male in the public spotlight. Widely considered one of the best divers of all-time, Louganis spoke of his years of training and dedication to the sport -- a dedication that led him to win gold medals in both the 1988 and 1984 summer Olympic games as well as a silver medal in 1976 at the age of 16. But his years as a diver certainly weren't easy. Louganis remembers anti-gay sentiment amongst team members, including what he described as a "fagbuster" campaign by members of the team directed against homosexuals. Still, Louganis said he was able to block out much of the rhetoric, focusing instead on the sport and proving himself to be a fierce competitor. "I always wanted my diving to speak for itself, I didn't want to have to speak for my diving," he said regarding his desire to prove himself based on his athletic ability and not have his sexuality become a factor. Later, Louganis grappled with being diagnosed as HIV positive in the months leading up to the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, South Korea.
