Thanks Xanatos... I don't know how all of the sorority stuff works (at Cornell you can pledge as a freshman, I have heard) that is why I was asking because I thought that you could pledge at an earlier time. I was also interested to see if anyone had any opinions on the Delta Delta Delta sorority at Dartmouth (at this time).

For your information veryhappy, I was asking because I was simply curious... I do not see any problem with that.

I think the point that everyone is trying to make is that the women who are currently in tri-delta will not be there when / should you get to hanover and have the opportunity to rush.

think about it..

you are currently a junior and the 8's are graduating this year
in your senior year the 9's will be graduating
when you are a freshman the 10's will be graduating.

When it is time for you to the, the 11's and 12's (who will be juniors and seniors) will be determining your fate. The 11s are freshmen and the 12's haven't even been admitted to dartmouth yet, let along rushed and pledged tri-delta.

So one could tell you about tri-delta in the here and now but that really won't have any affect on you because these women will be long gone by the time you are ready to rush and no one can say with any certaintly who or what will be the mission of the future classes.

For now, at least, tri-delt has the stereotype of being a sorority of nice girls. They seem to like to bake a lot, and are generally all very friendly. As everyone has pointed out, 1) this is just a stereotype, not fact by any means, 2) this is just my opinion, and 3) this is very transient, and may no longer be true by next year, let alone in three years.

mimsy

definitely true

i wish ppl wouldn't stereotype so much though
is dartmouth extremely preppy??

Are you referring to baking in the sun, or getting baked by use of illegal substances?

This post is really funny.

sybbie719

Nope, they like to bake cookies, brownies, cakes, etc.

mimsy

i guess preppy was sort of a random thing to ask...ah well

wolfpack12

lol, I guess I forgot the literal meaning of baking. Mimsy, it was just funny because you said that you wish people would stop stereotyping as much, and then you follow up with a question about the preppiness of Dartmouth students, which is stereotypical in itself. no worries, just made me laugh.

mimsy

haha that IS ironic.
i guess im not always free of listening to stereotypes either

Every time I look at the thread title, I want to respond: "Mostly nitrogen."

I don't really know where this aura of conservatism comes from. I'm currently a freshman at Dartmouth and I absolutely love it. If it's any consolation, there were many more people seeing Obama/Bill-Hill Clinton speak than McCain during the beginning of the year.

I consider myself very liberal, and I would say that I've met more liberals than conservatives if you really want to quantify it.

As for the drinking, there's no reason to freak out---Dartmouth is like any other college in that there is going to be alcohol on campus...it's impossible to have a completely dry one. I know PLENTY of people who don't go out every week and who choose not to drink. It's perfectly fine, and everyone here's really chill...about everything.

Hope that helps.
