<p>I’m not sure which dorm you are in xjac, but my child is a frosh at Whitman, doesn’t drink - doesn’t live in Jewitt - and has had no problem both avoiding alcohol/party pressure and having plenty of entertainment. Lots of friends of both genders, very active dorm section, and having alot of fun absent a party scene. Since reading your post I called to ask, and was told my child has never seen any throw–up either in the dorm or in the bathroom, but did accompany one friend from a frat party to the health center this year. Hasn’t been to another frat party.
Activities cited: making videos, cooking, dress-up parties (costumes), late night and wee-hours outdoor games - often with glow in the dark sports equipment,
Sorry about your unhappiness, but I would hate for others on the board to think Whitman is a big downer unless you drink.
Re: alcohol poisoning, you can go online and find statistics for how many students are treated each year - stats for Whitman are very low.</p>
