<p>Frat life is a culture, which happens to have much history. I have relatives and family friends who have been in those same frats mentioned on that site. The things that go on there are a bit extreme (although that article pushed its assumptions). Dartmouth accepts and graduates some of the nation’s best minds. Graduates go on to do great things. Did you know Dartmouth has the highest percentage of grads go into the Peace Corps of any college or university in the country? You have to understand, where ever you go, things will happen that might be shocking, at first sight. Some people have had more high school experiences than others, but you’ll find the culture at bowdoin/midd. is very similar to Dartmouth, in terms of crazy weekend nights. I don’t know if you saw it, but one post on that blog (witch btw isn’t reliable, although this next facts is true…) Robert Frost was a member of Theta Delt, which is known to be the most outrageous frat at Dartmouth, football basketball lacrosse (huge at Dartmouth) frat. He turned out to be a pretty sensitive guy, as many other former brothers have. If you want to gain a real understanding of frat life at Dartmouth you should read Hoyt Alverson’s 2005 study of drinking culture at Dartmouth. BTW, you don’t have to be involved in this culture the tiniest bit, plenty of people aren’t into it.<br>
Besides the frat option, Dartmouth has sooo much to offer.</p>
