I am writing in support of the Greek proposal to address some of the most visible and pressing issues at Dartmouth today. I am very dismayed that another and very robust movement is threatening fraternities and sororities at Dartmouth. As far as I am concerned they are an integral part of the Dartmouth experience, an overall positive force in the college experience. Reducing their presence will only make Dartmouth more like other nondescript colleges. The popularity for undergraduates speaks for itself. Respect that. Respect the majority who have come before. My daughter (’11), son-in-law (’10), and I would feel disenfranchised from Dartmouth if the Greek system is diminished and made the “fall guy” for social problems that are occurring.
