By Kate Farley | October 15, 2009

So I have one bookmark on my iPhone, and it's the Dartmouth Dining Services menu page. You can start judging me, but I'm eating potstickers at Home Plate, so I don't even care.

A commonly known Dartmouth statistic is that about 60 percent of Dartmouth students are involved in Greek life. The number of student employees on campus, however, might be even higher. According to Todd Kilburn, manager of the student employment office, approximately 62 percent, about 2,800 students, are in some way employed by the College.

The Gospel According to Matthew

By Matthew Ritger | October 15, 2009

An affiliated female student who lost her virginity through sexual assault by a fraternity brother, and then couldn't convince her friends, or herself, that there is anything else to do here but go back to hanging out in his basement. Another affiliated female student, who only remembers "crying a lot, and telling him to please, please stop." A young woman who was date-raped during her freshmen year, tried to press charges but was thwarted, and went into rush hoping to find a support system in a women's society but didn't get a bid. These are your friends.

So a girl walks into a bar in London. I mean, a pub. A girl walks into a pub. I mean, a girl tries to walk into a pub while also attempting T9 texting on a foreign phone and ends up walking into a glass door.

Ask Miss Muffin Top

By The Dartmouth | October 15, 2009

Dear Miss Muffin Top, How do you know if you are dating at Dartmouth? Down to Settle Down Dear DTSD, When Miss Muffin Top was a wee cupcake, she would fall asleep listening to the story of how her parents met at Dartmouth at something called a "fraternity formal." At a mythical place called Whaleback Mountain, Miss Muffin Top imagined her mother regally descending a staircase like a Disney princess, with her husband-to-be clutching a glass slipper at the bottom of the stairs.

The Beginnings of Sorority Life

By Brigette Taylor | October 8, 2009

In recent years, Dartmouth has repeatedly seen debates over social space at the College, as students have advocated for increased social spaces outside of the Greek system, or for equality between so-called "female-dominated" and "male-dominated" spaces at Dartmouth. In 1972, however, when women were first admitted to the College, the lay of Dartmouth's social land and the resulting debates were a bit different. In the years following coeducation, several unofficial female groups cropped up around campus, some of which referred to themselves as "sororities." One such group, XX Delta, was first formed in 1976.

Different Strokes for Different Folks

By Will Strokher | October 8, 2009

While slower than most colleges in the movement towards gender equality, Dartmouth finally began admitting female students in 1972. This important victory in women's rights has certainly led to many significant changes within campus culture, sex and otherwise. After countless hours of historical investigation and off-the-record interviews, I have compiled a thorough timeline of noteworthy events for our "sisters" at Dartmouth. Sept.

Paving their Paths

By Karen Iorio | October 8, 2009

Although women only began graduating from the College slightly more than 25 years ago, some Daughters of Dartmouth have already reached prominence in a multitude of fields including entertainment, government and business (no pressure, '10s who have recently littered the corporate world with your resume droppings). After four years in this cutthroat, frozen wasteland, Dartmouth's alumnae seem to have had no trouble conquering the real world. In addition to the stress of normal Dartmouth life, some of the College's earliest female graduates faced even greater obstacles.

Cohog Hums

By Priya Krishna | October 8, 2009

Actresses, chief executives, congresswomen and Olympic gold medalists: It's no exaggeration that many female alumni of Dartmouth are kind of a big deal nowadays. What you probably did not know is that 37 years ago at Dartmouth, these accomplished women may have received a welcome that went a little something like this: "Our cohogs, they play four/ They're a bunch of dirty whores/ With a knick knack baddy whack send the bitches home." In the spring of 1975, at the Hums singing competition during Green Key Weekend, then-Dean of the College Carroll Brewster declared "Our Cohogs" the winning song the most creative and original that he heard all weekend, according to records found in Rauner Special Collections Library. This song, "Our Cohogs" cohog being short for coed hog is one example of Dartmouth's history of the backlash that greeted the College's decision to become a coeducational institution.
