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.

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.



Opinion

Courage Equal To Desire

|

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

|

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.



Opinion

The Culture of Denial

|

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.


Opinion

An Apology

|

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.


Opinion

A Revelation

|

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.


Opinion

Community Degradation

|

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.


Opinion

A Letter From Zeta Psi

|

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.
