Part of my sophomore fall has involved rushing and getting involved with Greek Life. Now that it's finished, I thought I'd take some time to reflect on this experience.

Q:
In what ways does Dartmouth make the campus experience affordable for students (beyond financial aid)?
A:
Great question! From my experience, there are many ways that Dartmouth tries to eliminate potential barriers that students may face financially. Most activities offered on-campus are free or take into account financial need.

Q:
Is the Greek life overpowering? Can you make friends through clubs or other ways?
A:
This is definitely a question I had as an incoming freshman, especially because I had pre-conceived notions of what Greek life was like based on stereotypes from media, other colleges, etc.

Although I've blogged about my freshman fall, I thought it would be a good idea to share my favorite Snapchat memories I've looked at so far and give a perspective on my first term at Dartmouth—one year ago.

If you are a prospective student, its okay to be curious about Greek life! I still do fully stand by the fact that you can decide not to rush and have a very fulfilling experience at Dartmouth.

Last week, I virtually hosted an incoming student, and it was funny to me how he shared a lot of the worries I once had. So, hopefully I can help another incoming student or two by sharing my worries: and why I'm no longer worried about them.

Something unique about Dartmouth's Greek life is the fact that freshmen cannot rush. However, for those who wish to rush a sorority, there are a ton of pre-rush events to help you get to know the different Greek houses across campus.
