Bones Gate Activity with Habitat Exaggerated

By Christopher Taylor | February 12, 1999

To the Editor: In the opinion piece on page five of yesterday's copy of The Dartmouth, it was written, "Bones Gate is also heavily involved with Habitat for Humanity."

To the Dartmouth Community

By The Coed Fraternity Sorority Council | February 11, 1999

Rather than cry and moan, "Woe is me", "What is happening to the Greek system is totally unfair", "Screw you," etc., what is currently needed by all Greeks college-wide, and alums nationwide, is a genuine commitment to proving that the Greek system, while perhaps flawed in its level of alcohol use and abuse, is still the best game going in town and will be an irreplaceable asset to the College.
