I am writing in support of the Greek proposal to address some of the most visible and pressing issues at Dartmouth today. I FIRMLY BELIEVE DARTMOUTH NEEDS THE GREEK SYSTEM FOR THE BENEFIT OF THOSE STUDENTS THAT DON’T SOCIALIZE EASILY AND INDEPENDENTLY. MY ESPERIENCE IS THAT FRATERNITIES ARE THE CCENTER OF YOUR SOCIAL LIFE AND WHERE YOUR CLOSE FRIENDS LIVE AND PARTICIPATE. MY FRATERNITY GAVE MEA CLUSTER OF FRIENDS THAT HAVE BEEN LIFELONG FRIENDS. DON’T BREAK UP THIS TRADITION AS IT IS VERY FORMATIVE IN DEVELOPING CLASS SPIRIT AN DCLOSE BONDS. DICKMO’CONNOR
