Yes, the marching band is a scatter band. My D has been able to participate in the marching band, a club sport, and the Ledyard Canoe Club. She also has been working on a research project through the Women in Science Program. No longer having a commute to school and the time wasted between high school classes permits an organized student to be involved in a lot of things and still stay on top of their classwork. D also has spent time at many fraternities attending their dance parties and playing pong with male friends who are not members of the fraternity. One of the things that I think may be lost on the people who complain about the fraternity culture is that not everyone who participates in a fraternity event drinks --it is ok at Dartmouth to play pong with something that is not alcoholic.

D feels supported by the administration and thinks that Pres. Hanlon is on the right path. Her friends feel the same. As you might have read on other threads, the fraternities at Dartmouth have open parties so you can attend parties without joining.

D is enjoying her time at Dartmouth so much she doesn’t want to take any quarter away from the school. S who was a '10, and Thayer '11 felt the same way and so worked in Hanover during his Junior summer.
