What Green Key Means to Seniors

|

While there are not many traditional activities associated with Green Key Weekend as there are with Homecoming and Winter Carnival, seniors interviewed by The Dartmouth reflected that the novelty of the weekend lies in the focus on being outside and having fun during the day. Many students cited Block Party, an outdoor event hosted by Phi Delta Alpha fraternity, and "Gammapalooza," a dance, music and rap concert at Chi Gamma Epsilon fraternity, as two of their favorite events. Allison Clark '12 said that Block Party is a fun, outdoor event on Webster Avenue that allows students to "hop from friend to friend and see a lot of people." Block Party allows students to enjoy the weather and spend time outside, Brian Seitz '12 said. Gammapalooza is "easily the best concert on campus every year," Dave Seliger '12 said. Grace Tiedemann '12 said the party features "a really good DJ" who is not a student at the College, dancing outside and people climbing into and out of the windows of Chi Gam.

Alumni flock back to campus for Green Key

While Dartmouth Alumni Council's annual spring meeting and the Hill Winds Society's Green Key alumni event will attract involved alumni to Hanover, Greek houses' events, class reunions and other informal gatherings will also draw a significant group of alumni back to the College for Green Key weekend, according to students, alumni and event organizers. Compared to other big weekends, Green Key brings a younger set of alumni to campus, and overall alumni attendance seems to be lower. "It's about seeing your friends and enjoying the spring," Kate Lyon '05, who has attended the majority of Green Key weekends since her graduation, said.

Chivalry is a weird term. It conjures up images of knights who joust, quest and slay dragons to win over the girl of their dreams.

Debunking the Dartmouth Man

|

They say that behind every stereotype is some form of truth. Maybe I have too much faith in my male peers, but for their sake, I sincerely hope this isn't true. If you ask any Dartmouth student to describe their classmates in general, they'll probably throw around complimentary adjectives such as "intelligent," "passionate" and "ambitious." Yet as soon as you ask for descriptions of the typical Dartmouth man, the image that comes to mind isn't entirely positive.

The Group MEN-tality

|

Being a man at Dartmouth might not seem particularly challenging. In terms of campus issues, people tend to focus more on women, who didn't come to Dartmouth until the 1970s and faced a great deal of adversity because of the College's all-male legacy.

The Mirror Asks... If I were a boy?

"On campus, I would want to just bro out in a frat basement because they're usually more of a guy scene than a girl scene." Amanda Spoto '14 "I would treat women with respect." Alice Liou '13 "I'd get used to my new body first.

Being and Dartmouthness

|

When I came to Dartmouth, some of my closest friends were women. But by the end of my freshman year, I barely spoke to women at all outside of passing hellos or frenzied, convoluted exchanges in the basement.

This is the story of an allusion. "I wake up every morning and wonder whether I love this place or I hate it." "That means you love it." You have probably noticed that the seniors are all carrying around a lot of jade these days.
