The College has narrowed the search for a new College rabbi to 10 applicants, down from 30 rabbis who submitted resumes, according to Tucker Foundation Dean Scott Brown.
Fifty-four Dartmouth students, staff and faculty members took a vow of silence from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Thirteen women have banded together to reactivate Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, a historically African-American organization that was deactivated at the College by its national chapter five years ago for unspecified violations. Though the sorority will not hold Fall term rush coinciding with other Coed Fraternity Sorority organizations, new AKA President Brandi Kenner '98 said the group will hold a separate rush at a different time. The reactivated chapter will not seek a permanent physical plant, but members will occupy space in the River Apartments beginning this Fall term. During the five-year ban, AKA was prohibited from accepting new members or sponsoring events. The sorority would have remained deactivated at the College, except some women expressed interest in starting a second black sorority.
