The Culture of Denial

By Kinohi Nishikawa | April 19, 2001

To the Editor: What compelled me to write this letter was not the revelation that Zeta Psi publishes "sex papers" to distribute to its members, but the comment that the house's president, Gene Boyle '02, made in Wednesday's issue of The Dartmouth: "Obviously, we don't condone this kind of behavior." Wait a second.

An Apology

By Matthew Egalka | April 19, 2001

To the Editor: The in-house publication of Zeta Psi fraternity's newsletters is quite clearly and without any argument a moral and ethical error of colossal proportions.

A Revelation

By Melissa A. Heaton | April 19, 2001

To the Editor: Yesterday, in a letter to the editor, an anonymous female student wrote: "Coming forward with the feelings and statements included in this letter, I am afraid." I am that female student.

Community Degradation

By James Wright | April 19, 2001

To the Dartmouth Community: I was deeply offended to learn that Zeta Psi fraternity had published a series of newsletters that specifically insulted individual members of this community.

A Letter From Zeta Psi

By Gene Boyle | April 19, 2001

As members of our community, you deserve a complete and truthful response to the article in yesterday's issue of The Dartmouth describing two "newsletters" produced by members of Zeta Psi fraternity.

A Former Member Speaks

By Alex Nazaryan | April 19, 2001

It is too late for remorse and regret. Condemnation of this act on my part would have rightfully come at the end of Fall term when I depledged Zeta Psi fraternity (I am mentioned in the Sigma Report -- a weekly paper that documented the sexual exploits of the brothers -- in relation to my unfortunate Dog Day audition). However, when I read the comments of Zeta Psi President Gene Boyle '02 in yesterday's issue of The Dartmouth, I felt the compulsion to speak out. His statements are pure lies, and the seeming innocence with which he makes them only exacerbate the situation.

On A Different Note

By Michael Weiss | April 18, 2001

Abhishek Gangulee (The Dartmouth, April 10th, "Misguided Protest") makes a few nice points in his editorial, among them, that college students can be a bit myopic and overly earnest with what they view as horrible, Trustee-inflicted social injustice and undergraduate subjugation.

Quit Kidding

By Alexandra Roberts | April 18, 2001

In a rough draft of its report to the College, the Greek Life Steering Committee proposed, among other things, that a minimum GPA of 2.3 be required of any student who wishes to rush a Coed Fraternity Sorority Council House. While I sympathize with the idea that membership in a Greek house is a privilege and not a right, I believe that it should be a privilege contingent on behavior and not academic performance.

Horrified

By Melissa A. Heaton | April 18, 2001

To the Editor: Upon reading the newsletter published by Zeta Psi during the Summer of 2000, my reaction can only be described as horrified.

IFC Offended By Zete

By Eric Powers | April 18, 2001

To the Editor: The Inter-Fraternity Council wants the Dartmouth community to know that it stands fervently against the recent behavior of Zeta Psi fraternity, and in no way condones the newsletters for which Zeta Psi has been recenttly accused of producing.

Zete Action Unacceptable

By Panhellenic Council Members | April 18, 2001

To the Editor: We would like the Dartmouth Community to know that, in light of recent events we felt moved to respond, as affiliated women, to the news of the methodical and unacceptable actions of a fellow Greek institution. As stated by the Dartmouth College Principle of Community: "The life and work of a Dartmouth student should be based on integrity responsibility, and consideration.

More Than Dartmouth

By Abbye Meyer | April 17, 2001

Usually this school offers plenty of things to complain and worry about. In fact, there is frequently a surplus of issues to be taken up, keeping us much too busy fretting to do much else. In the past week, however, I have managed to avoid scattered panic and have concentrated on one problematic issue: exclusivity.

I Shall Overcome

By Rob Valet | April 17, 2001

So there I was, on the front steps of Parkhurst Hall, full of youthful revolutionary spirit. Change was in the air and I was going to make it happen.

Sexual Awareness Week

By Dan Nelson | April 16, 2001

We are observing Sexual Assault Awareness Week at Dartmouth. Our collective commitment to the principle that sexual intimacy requires mutual consent should be so ingrained that a week devoted to raising awareness should be unnecessary.

Appreciation, For Once

By Catherine Maxson | April 16, 2001

As an alum who reads The Dartmouth Online fairly regularly, I felt compelled to respond to Chris Curran's Op-Ed "Admit It," printed in the April 11th issue of The Dartmouth.
