<p>Viewer, I am also a Dartmouth 09, and many of my close male friends are not in fraternities. I don’t think any of them regret their decisions not to rush, and they love Dartmouth just the same, and have a great time here. So do not think that Xanatos’s experience is exactly the one your son would have. I hope he is planning on visiting – if he does, PM me, and I would be happy to introduce him to some of my friends who might be able to show him the less-frat-y side of Dartmouth.</p>
<p>ETA - although, I suppose having a child here already, you don’t need any help from me :)</p>
