Dartmouth Frats Protest Campus Keg Policy at Earth Day Event

Greeks Go Green

Dartmouth University had an event called Green Saturday April 14 to raise awareness of global climate change, but participants from the university's Interfraternity Council used the event to show their angst against the campus keg policy.

“The keg policy is so restrictive that it makes more sense [for Greek houses] to use aluminum cans, which end up going into the trash, whereas kegs…would be more sustainable,” an unnamed student said.

As the Yale Herald reported, the IFC originally planned to set up a mountain of beer-laden trash bags, but plans were stymied when not a single frat boy agreed to carry the bags.
