Good Intentions

By Greek House Presidents | April 25, 2001

To the Editor: After reading an article in the April 20th issue of The Dartmouth by Anshu Wahi entitled "Take Back the Night " Not Quite," I was compelled to address the unsubstantiated accusations that all too often pass without refute by leaders of the Greek community.

Stand By Your Man

By Seth Nelson | April 24, 2001

To the Editor: After reading Andrew Ryan's letter in the April 23rd issue of The Dartmouth, I felt that I must take up the challenge and say something.

The Articles of Abolishment

By Alfred Valrie Jr. | April 24, 2001

The Greek system is classist, homophobic, misogynist and racist; it must be abolished. It is a decadent institution that exists only at the painful expense of others ("Others"). It can never provide adequate reparations for the psychic damage inflicted on those upset by the Saigon party, the Greek Week '98 and other t-shirts, the ghetto party, the luau, the "wah hoo wah" incident and, most recently, the Zeta Psi salacious papers affair. It originated in 1841 and was created primarily by white, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant men for the benefit of white, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant men.

Disclosure

By Deborah H. Kim | April 24, 2001

To the Editor: I was saddened to read about the continued personification of Dartmouth College as an institution which still embraces the notion that it is all right to portray women as objects for the fraternity man's sexual conquests.

Controversy or Discourse?

By Linda Romano | April 24, 2001

On Monday, April 23rd, Theresa M. Pope wrote in The Dartmouth, "Based on what has transpired on your campus, I no longer view Dartmouth as a reputable institution." I thought I was going to stay out of this latest campus crisis -- really had no interest in hashing this one out; why bother?

The Last Straw

By Kimberly M. Hill | April 23, 2001

To the Editor: It seems finally that the Greek system has run its course? After having supported the Greeks throughout my time in Hanover, your article about "The Zetemouth" has become that last straw to push me over to the other side.

Just Poking Fun

By Cosmo Catalano | April 23, 2001

To the Editor: Like most of the campus, I was personally appalled by the material in "Sigma Report" and "The Zetemouth." However, I think there are several things that most people may be overlooking in this controversy. I think it is important to realize that these "sex papers" have a sarcastic and self-deprecating tone that both the females involved and The Dartmouth have overlooked.

Zete Alum: Live and Learn

By Andrew Ryan | April 23, 2001

To the Editor: I see a couple of issues which need to be examined. You may not like how I look at them, but don't I have the right to "free speech?" Don't I get a chance to say what I believe in?

The Duty Of Provocation

By Jesse Jacobson | April 23, 2001

To the Editor: I have always espoused the satirical philosophy that the American people (in general) were too reactionary and easily manipulated to deserve the franchise.

Opinion

Spurious Values

By Suzie King Kornblum | April 23, 2001

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.

Rise And Fall

By Brigitta Wagner | April 23, 2001

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

By Margot Neebe | April 23, 2001

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

By Ryan Carey | April 23, 2001

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.

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.
