Vox Clamantis: Commending AZD Leadership

To the Editor: I would like to commend Alyssa Robins '08 and Sarah Bankoff '08 for their exemplary leadership through these trying times as president and vice president of Alpha Xi Delta sorority. They have in word and deed contributed not only to the stature and benefit of their sisterhood, but they have elevated the discussion from our immediate needs to help educate us all about the greater issues regarding the promotion of parity between male- and female-dominated social spaces on campus. We, the Beta at Dartmouth Trustees, look forward to assisting in every way possible, including the possibilities of using 6 Webster Avenue for subsequent rush (should construction allow) and finding other ways to partner in the years ahead. I am mindful of the Greeks Speak conference that occurred last Sunday to discuss issues in a positive and solution-based manner. It would be wonderful if we could together apply the conference's consensus-based conclusions to help provide model organizations for the Dartmouth community. As you know, we will be holding an open forum on January 31.
