<p>The green bracelet has hit Dartmouth’s Campus. Wear it on your wrist as a reminder, as inspiration, It’s more than trying…it’s doing. The proceeds will benefit will the Charfassion Orphanage in Bangladesh. Matt Sueoka '04 created a new set of building blueprints for the orphanage for his senior thesis last year. A group of Dartmouth students known as “Team Taka” are leading the fundraising effort to raise the needed $300,000. They’ve already raised $60,000.</p>

<p>I remember, a half year or so after the Livestrong ones came out, I started seeing red University of Maryland bracelets, blue Duke bracelets, and other ACC ones. I wondered at the time if there would ever be any Dartmouth ones. Pretty cool.</p>

<p>I have sort of a personal vendetta against these things…sorry…</p>

<p>God, these Dartmouth students! Again! AGAIN I like it even more now than I did yesterday.</p>

<p>The only thing I dislike is that the bracelets are more a fashion statement now than anything else. Don’t get me wrong, I bought them b.c I wanted to support the charities…lol so much so that when all the sneaker stores were out, my sister and I were told to go to Build-a-Bear. Apparently they sell two of them, one Adult size and one FOR THE BEAR…seeing as how I’m 4’11" and tiiiiny, and my sister’s even smaller, we actually wear the BEAR bracelets lol. but I’ve known girls who wear them and have no idea what they’re for, they just got them b/c everyone else had them.</p>

<p>That said, I’d love to get a D bracelet. I’m just wondering what’ll happen if I get rejected…for example, when I got deferred from Penn, I felt stupid wearing my Penn sandals lol. I know it’s for a cause, but will it be a constant reminder of the school that didn’t want me, for whatever reason?</p>

<p>There was a girl at my school who got into Penn ED last year who was wearing a Dartmouth sweatshirt one day for some reason. People here walk around wearing the shirts of different schools sometimes…it’s really no big deal, I don’t think there’s like a shirt police that makes sure people only wear the shirts of the college they attend or attended.</p>
