A year or so ago, three sororities were petitioning to be allowed on campus. Each had to agree to respect the Dartmouth “culture” (i.e., drinking) if selected.



No true. While 3 sororities were petitioning to have a chapter at Dartmouth, they were national sororities, which strictly prohibit having alchol related functions in their house. They would have to align more with the Dartmouth culture of having greek sponsored functions (parties) that are open to all which is not the case on most campuses.

It is actually the local sororities that have more latitude as far as the “drinking culture” is concerned. Even then everyone who is part of the greek system isn’t spending all of their time drinking.
