A roundup of fraternity news from the Ivy League.
Dartmouth drinking on the rocks
Here at Yale, the beer flows like wine at the decorous gatherings thrown by our local Greek chapters. But all is not well in the frozen north: Dartmouth's chapter of the Psi Upsilon fraternity came off of a two-week period of social probation on Tues., Jan. 18. The hijinks of the Psi-U brothers, unlike the Deltas of Animal House fame, did not include any pranks as flashy as dumping a truckload of fizzies into the swim meet pool, delivering medical school cadavers to the alumni dinner, or filling the trees with underwear on Halloween. Rather, the frat was guilty of the more prosaic offense of harboring illegal kegs of beer.
And Psi-U is not the only delinquent frat on campus: Dartmouth's Sig Ep chapter received six weeks of social probation for serving a drink to an underage student. Double-secret probation will reportedly be handed down for continued violations.
