Finis. Exeunt.

By Michael Weiss | April 23, 2001

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

Don't Derecognize

By Bill Harris | April 20, 2001

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

By John Phinney | April 20, 2001

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.

Take Back The Night -- Not Quite

By Anshu Wahi | April 20, 2001

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.

Over-zealous Coverage

By Petra Halsema | April 20, 2001

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.

A Call To Band Together

By Assorted Professors | April 20, 2001

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

By Michael Breen | April 20, 2001

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.

The End of the Greek System As We Know It

By Derek Lee | April 20, 2001

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.

Don't Derecognize

By Evan Richardson | April 20, 2001

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

By Joshua Marcuse | April 20, 2001

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

Opinion

Over-zealous Coverage

By Julia Richman | April 20, 2001

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.

Courage Equal To Desire

By Liam Kuhn | April 20, 2001

Talk about life imitating art imitating life. In Animal House, Otter says: "You can't hold a whole fraternity responsible for the behavior of a few, sick twisted individuals.

Zeta Psi: A Response

By Michael Bern | April 20, 2001

Tuesday night, I, along with other Zeta Psi members, received a blitz from Katie Oliviero, '01. In her blitz, she wrote: "Thank you for altruistically reminding us that we are nothing but mere cunts, dirty holes, tits of varying cup-sizes for you to suck, to stick your purifying dicks into. That we are rancid snatches who have no right to say NO.

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.
