<p>It's true. It's really easy though, and most people get it over with when they go on their DOC trip.</p>

<p>jblackboy,</p>

<p>that's the most interesting thing I've heard and a lot to be proud of, thanks for posting.</p>

12

<p>They were also one of the last (if not THE last) Ivy League schools to admit women. My interviewer (a woman by the way) pointed this out. </p>

<p>Sorry for busting your bubble, Kalidescope. ;)</p>

13

<p>wow, this game is turning out to be a success..
i never knew the King of Porn is related to D.</p>

14

<p>Woo, porn!</p>

<p>Take that, Penn!</p>

15

<p>Journo, though we were the last to admit women, we were the first Ivy League institution to establish a Women Studies program in 1978, a mere four years the induction of women, it is now the Women and Gender studies program. We currently offer over 40 Women and Gender studies and affiliated courses with over 80 Dartmouth faculty members involved in the program.</p>

16

<p>C. Everett Coop, former U.S. Surgeon General graduated from Dartmouth(interviewer told me that)</p>

17

<p>Michael Corleone was D '42.</p>

18

<p>Dartmouth was the first college to have truly selective admissions.</p>

19

<p>Many of the frats are local because in the 1960s the nationals wouldnt let in Jews or minorities so the Dartmouth chapters revoked their national chapters.</p>

<p>Tri-kap (Kappa Kappa Kappa) is a frat at Dartmouth with many minorities (Its the urban hip hop house with a ton of asians, indians, african americans, hispanics, etc). They refuse to change their name since they pre-date the KKK.</p>
