My daughter is interested in environmental sciences and loves the idea of the Dartout Club, but she's hesitant about Dartmouth's Greek life prominence and party culture. Can she still feel a part of the community without joining a sorority?
A:
As someone who has navigated the complex, vibrant ecosystem of Dartmouth from the unique lens of being an international student from Zimbabwe, I find it truly rewarding to engage with prospective students and their families.
When I came to Dartmouth, I was pretty disinterested in and put off by the idea of Greek life on campus, but three years later, I'm affiliated. Here's my story!
Dartmouth College has tons to do throughout the term – from Collis After Dark to DOC trips, it's pretty hard to get bored. However, this summer I decided to organize a new event called Summer Streetfest – here is how that went!
When I was deciding what colleges to apply to and ultimately attend, there were several things that attracted me to Dartmouth, and none of them was Greek Life.
Anyone who knew me before coming to Dartmouth might be surprised to hear that, as from this Winter term, I have been taking part in the Greek system. As I recently found out, it can be lots of fun!
