<p>I’d be happy to be a part of anything to do with MUNs in college! And I actually like participating more than organizing/moderating!! :)</p>
<p>Hey. IF given a chance, Id try out for the Dartmouth Soccer team too 
ANd maybe Rowing :O</p>
<p>Also, has anyone read/heard/experienced anything about Dartmouth’s drinking tradition? :P</p>
<p>There was a big news about D’s hazing problem and drinking like two years ago I think. But it was related to fraternities and I don’t think it was representative of everybody at D.</p>
<p>@rishav
I do some MUN but mostly as a side thing
our school runs a decently sized MUN so I’m helping chair a committee for that
it might be fun to get more involved in uni but i would really like to focus on business/management stuff</p>
<p>The Rolling Stone article a year(ish) ago gave some insight into the fraternities, but the guy who “exposed” it seemed like a ____ and was addicted to cocaine I believe. I don’t think it was representative of D - just another shotty attempt at yellow journalism.</p>
<p>@ealdi94
Totally agree. Every school has a problem with drinking and whatnot ,but that doesn’t mean everybody drinks :)</p>
<p>Well - i didn’t know anything about the hazing stuff, until ^^.</p>
<p>And then I read a bit and found that there have been quite a few “allegations” of hazing at Dartmouth in the recent years(all related to frats) and that none of them were dealt with clarity by the D administration. So it does put a doubt into my mind!!
Anyway, I think not joining a frat rather than giving up on the opportunity to go to such a great school is the more sensible thing to do!!</p>
<p>Anyone else concur with me?? And anyone planning on joining a frat? If so, what’s the benefit except for the <em>partying</em>??</p>
<p>I’m an international student -so I dont know much on greek life!! :)</p>
<p>I’m not joining a frat.
Too much time commitment (depending on the frat) and I’m not a party-person haha
If there are philanthropy-focused frat though, I might be interested.</p>
<p>I don’t necessarily want to join a frat, but it seems to be a pivotal center of social life at Dartmouth, and the more I’ve looked into it, it looks like there are plenty of options for fraternities at Dartmouth - hardcore animal house-type ones, and more laid back houses with not as much of a commitment. So If I get in, and go to Dartmouth, I’ll probably join one of the lower key fraternities.</p>
<p>Hey anybody who sent peer evaluation via email get an acknowledgement?
I had my friend send in my evaluation via email and my Dartmouth web access site says that they received all my application material, but just wanted to double check!</p>
<p>^ Same doubt!! But I sent a mail about this long long ago, and they said they won’t be able to acknowledge it due to huge no. of applications!!</p>
<p>Excited to see who’s gonna get accepted! Join us!</p>
<p>@Aspirare
I think I’m speaking on behalf of all the posters on this thread when I say,
it would be an honor to join you!</p>
<p>Hey guys, did you all get information concerning your application status checking portal? I submitted my app on the 28th of December and still did not get any confirmation letter. I did not get anything from Dartmouth actually. What should I do?</p>
<p>^ I guess if your commonapp shows as downloaded by the college, then you should wait for another week perhaps - cause even though I received an email, my account hasn’t been updated yet - so they must still be arranging materials!!</p>
<p>If your app is not downloaded but submitted, then call them up ASAP.</p>
<p>I remember writing to them before the deadline, asking whether I will receive any confirmation when they receive my arts supplement and what I got was a reply which stated that until early feb - they will not attend to any tracking requests due to the large number of applicants!!</p>
<p>So even if you decide to contact them, I’d say call them!! :)</p>
<p>Haha. Well, Im not saying that there is a lot of drinking ONLY at D. Ofcourse, whichever college/uni you go to, there will definitely be lot of parties and drinking, thats for sure! It just depends on what your approach/view on drinking is.</p>
<p>I’m joining!</p>
<p>Wait.
Greek life is strong at D?
NoooOOoooo.
D:</p>
<p>Greek life is strong at Dartmouth, because the campus is so rural. Frats are basically the only way to party for the students I guess… I just hope that they also have many students who are not that much into frats and parties and stuff haha</p>
<p>Its too early to hope for anything! I for one, will start hoping about the campus and my peers once (and if) I have an acceptance in hand :p</p>
<p>^ guyinblue - well you are bound to have at least one acceptance and that school is bound to have greek life!! ( How do you get the 
smiley??? )</p>
<p>@alexisss - D’s greek life is quite strong!!</p>
<p>@Iboss1223 - If, by an awesome miracle, I get accepted - then rest assured that you’ll find a friend in me!! As much as I may like to party, I am mostly not going to be a part of a frat !!
Anyone know if you can still party by not joining a frat, cause after all parties need people don’t they?? :D</p>
