Latkes, lefse and lutefisk
By Melissa Lokensgard | May 10, 2006To the Editor: Let Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity establish a chapter! After all, as David Rothenberg '08 points out, "being Jewish is different than belonging to other ethnicities, races, religions and nationalities." ("The Case for AEPi," May 8). We, as a diversity-loving institution, have an obligation to save this fragile culture, lest it be lost "if future generations stray too far from it." Next, I hope that Dartmouth will establish a sorority promoting Norwegian-American culture, tradition, beliefs and values, so that my distinctive cultural identity will not die out because of "assimilation." During the holiday season, there can be a feast between AEPi and my sorority, where latkes, lefse and lutefisk will be served for all members to enjoy!
