You can read years of frat atrocities on that campus here, if you’ve got the stomach; but if you just want the very latest —
A frat that had recently had its wrist slapped by this infinitely indulgent school seems to have killed a guy. (“Beta was on alcohol probation at the time of [Won] Jang’s death, following a suspension in the fall, winter and spring terms.”) Hazing, mucho booze, and a nearby river seem to have been the classic ingredients in this most recent case, and we can expect all the usual worthless responses – suspending the frat, offering a settlement/being sued by the poor babe’s parents, possible charges against the sadists of Beta Alpha Omega, blah blah. Ecoute: Dartmouth’s the school of choice for the children of wealthy sadistic alcoholics. Booze is its brand, and that ain’t gonna change. A little rape/carnage is the cost of doing business.

Update: Of course, Dartmouth can’t hold a candle to Oklahoma State.
If you pick Oklahoma State — and if you’re regarded as someone who can help the [football] team win — you can have six or seven beers and get behind the wheel of a car and you won’t get punished by the coach.
