Spurious Values

|

To the Editor: I would like to address Michael Bern '01's "A Letter From Zeta Psi," The Dartmouth, April 20th, defending himself and his house.


Opinion

Rise And Fall

|

To the Editor: As Kinohi Nishikawa wrote in his April 19th editorial (The Dartmouth, "The Culture of Denial"), "we all know -- more or less -- what goes on in frats even though we hate to admit it." To put it another way, we have never been innocent of "witnessing" and/or experiencing the exploitation of freshman women, the groping of body parts on the dance floor, the "morning after" walk home. I would like to address this silence, this complicity of which we are all -- students, alumni, faculty, and administrators -- guilty.

Nix On Derecognition

|

To the Editor: I'd like to respond to the letters demanding derecognition for Zeta Psi fraternity for "The Zetemouth" exposure. Although I find the publication offensive and degrading, I do not think the derecognition of Zeta Psi will resolve this problem.


Opinion

Fraternal Roots

|

I am a member of the class of '96, and a former member and officer of Zeta Psi fraternity. It was with utter dismay that I recently read The Dartmouth's story (April 18th, "Zete's Graphic 'Sex Papers' Exposed") on the fraternity's weekly newsletter.



Opinion

Finis. Exeunt.

|

The Germans have a great word: schadenfreude. It means the taking of perverse pleasure in the misfortune or misery of others.


Opinion

Don't Derecognize

|

To the Editor: Due to the recent announcement of the possible derecognition of Zeta Psi fraternity, I would like to respond with a couple of thoughts.


Opinion

Speak Out

|

To the Editor: Well, after four and a half years here at Dartmouth, I'm pissed off enough to say something. Frankly, I'm sick and tired of the endless amounts of rhetoric being spewed by both sides of the latest debates on apathy and the Greek system.


Opinion

Take Back The Night -- Not Quite

|

About 15 minutes before the Take Back the Night Rally on Monday evening, I was speaking to an affiliated male friend of mine who told me that many members of his house were going to be there.





Opinion

Over-zealous Coverage

|

To the Editor: While the Zeta Psi fraternity brothers are probably not people that I would want to date, I feel that derecognizing the fraternity on the basis of their sexually explicit and evidently widely offensive paper is ridiculous.


Opinion

A Call To Band Together

|

To the Editor: We would like to express our solidarity and shared distress with those female students and others who are outraged and upset by the recent events at Zeta Psi fraternity.


Opinion

The System Must Change

|

To the Editor: The recent disclosure of Zeta Psi fraternity's now infamous weekly gazette, and, more importantly, Zeta Psi's all-too-predictable reaction to being exposed, are just new readings of a tired Dartmouth script.


Opinion

The End of the Greek System As We Know It

|

To The Editor: Two years ago, President Wright and the Trustees released the Student Life Initiative, a long-term vision that proposed to "end the Greek system as we know it." At the time, students and alumni feared the Trustees would uproot the storied Greek system and abolish a Dartmouth institution.


Opinion

Don't Derecognize

|

To the Editor: When the news of Zeta Psi fraternity's Sigma report, a weekly newsletter that detailed the sexual exploits of the brothers, first broke in The Dartmouth, right there in the headline was the word that most folks in the Greek system fear: derecognition.


Opinion

Speak Out

|

To the Editor: I do not envy the position in which the brothers of Zeta Psi fraternity now find themselves.


Opinion

Over-zealous Coverage

|

To the Editor: Although I am disgusted by the things written by the brothers of Zeta Psi fraternity, I am more disgusted that The Dartmouth is a moral vacuum weak enough to reprint such writings.
