<p>Daughter picked Dartmouth.</p>
<p>Way to go d-dad! Hope your daughter loves her time at Dartmouth!</p>
<p>Thanks. I'm sure she'll love it. Now we have to work on getting my son in in 4 years (he'll be fine if he cuts back on video games to 3 hours/day).</p>
<p>Congrats, d-dad. Welcome to the Dartmouth community. I guess you have to start shopping for winter gear.</p>
<p>Still have some left over from our previous life in Pittsburgh. From what I hear, Hanover is colder but sunnier (the sun is not seen in Pittsburgh between November and April).</p>
<p>The sun is seen but not felt...but right now, we're in the middle of a heat wave, 75 outside and I'm playing softball in an hour! Whoo!</p>
<p>What are the rules for beer pong? Does getting the ball in the opponent's glass force him/her to drink? Very decadent, but at least it's not beer crack.</p>
<p>d-dad,</p>
<p>Will you and D be heading up to Dimensions?</p>
<p>im still stuck in this dilemna. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Sybbie, help me decide!</p>
<p>... or crack pong.</p>
<p>My daughter had other obligations that weekend, so we went a couple of weeks ago. She fell in love with D. immediately (as did I, but I don't count :-) ). We saw Duke yesterday, and it didn't compare with Dartmouth in atmosphere, charm, etc. Of course, both are great academically. We're all very happy that she chose Dartmouth.</p>
<p>DMC,</p>
<p>I know that you are in the process of packing for your trip to Hanover</p>
<p>Have I said enough!! Don't make me drag you there (i'm thinking about transferring to Texas, and I'll hunt you down:D) .</p>
<p>The weather is cooperating, and You can compare notes with my daughter who can tell you first hand how much of a pest I can be (that alone is worth the price of admission). we have been on this journey a long time from your first chances question on this board, to likelies, to the moniker, to now. </p>
<p>I know that you ain't scared:)</p>
<p>So go represent!!</p>
<p>i will. The force is strong in this one.</p>
<p>I'll wait to hear about the great time you had. Remember my kids, I am a poor black woman so I am not coming to bail any one out and I don't want to read about you on the police blotter :)</p>
<p>Everyone have a great time. See you in a few days.</p>
<p>Devil, I thought you already sent your deposit into Duke (?)</p>
<p>aww, thats too bad for duke..... oh well, here's an e-hug as a congratulations on making the decision</p>
<p>Thanks. One weird thing about Duke - everywhere you look there is a statue of a dead Duke.</p>

<p>The basics...you play 2 vs. 2 (usually, unless you are feeling ragey like I was Monday night) and you and your partner take turns hitting the ball to the other side. You have to serve diagonally, you get two (at some houses three) serves, if you hit a cup on a serve you must drink half a cup of the opponents' choosing. If you sink a cup on a serve you must drink a full cup. When you are actually hitting the ball (i.e. not serving), a hit is a half cup that the opponents must drink and a sink is a full cup. You can also save the ball after it hits a cup by hitting it back to the other side, but the total number of bounces in this instance cannot exceed one (for instance, bounce hit save, or hit bounce save but not bounce hit bounce save). And that's about it. Different frats have slightly modified rules, for example environments good or lightning or number of serves, but those are the basic rules.</p>
<p>"unless you are feeling ragey like I was Monday night'</p>
<p>thats why hanover is also know as hangover.... lol, jk</p>
<p>Well it's true...I played a game of pong and then a couple of games of 1 vs. 1. I didn't get a hangover, though...</p>
<p>I should mention that a standard game of pong ("shrub") is 14 cups, 7 for each side.</p>
