Undergraduate societies

Dartmouth recognizes two non-Greek undergraduate societies: Panarchy and Amarna,^[1] Both societies are co-ed, open, non-exclusive, and do not conduct "rush" activities. ^[2] Like the Greek organizations, Panarchy and Amarna function as social and residential communities; however, the undergraduate societies are separate from the college's Co-ed, Fraternity and Sorority (CFS) system and unlike affinity houses (like La Casa or Foley House) remain unaffiliated from any academic department. Dartmouth College is host to many Greek organizations and a significant percentage of the Undergraduate student body is active in Greek life Both Panarchy and Amarna have a strong founding commitment to member equality regardless of gender or seniority.

Amarna

Amarna Undergraduate Society was founded as a newly-formed undergraduate society in early 1994. Amarna's formation was inspired by a vocal mine yours debate on the Greek system and Panarchy's recognition as an undergraduate society. ^[3] The College gave Amarna the house at 23 East Wheelock Street, where the society remains today. Named after a Middle Egyptian society led by King Akhenaten and Queen Nefertiti, Amarna is known for its Monday Night Dinners with professors and its signature "Wine and Cheese" party. Akhenaten (often alt: Akhnaten, or rarely Ikhnaton) (In English ˌɑkəˡnɑtən or approximately "AHK-en-AHT-en" his royal name Amenhotep Nefertiti (pronounced at the time something like *nafratiːta (c

Panarchy

Panarchy became the first college-recognized undergraduate society in September 1993. ^[4] Panarchy is historically prefigured by Beta Psi, which was absorbed by Phi Kappa Psi (or "Phi Psi"), a national fraternity founded at Dartmouth in 1896. Phi Kappa Psi (ΦΚΨ Phi Psi is a US national college fraternity. ^[5][6] Early in the 20th century, the fraternity bought the house at 9 School Street, which was built in 1835 and where the organization continues to reside today. ^[7] In response to what was perceived as racial prejudice on the part of Phi Kappa Psi's national leadership, Dartmouth's Phi Kappa Psi separated from the national and renamed itself as Phi Sigma Psi in 1967. After years of welcoming female exchange-student boarders, on the first day Dartmouth admitted women in 1972 Phi Psi became the first Dartmouth Greek house to go co-ed. In 1991, the organization changed its name to "Phi Psi/Panarchy". In 1993 the college recognized Panarchy as an undergraduate society independent from the Greek system. Panarchy is known for hosting musical performances, art shows and its popular "Great Gatsby" party. The Great Gatsby is a Novel by the American author F Scott Fitzgerald. ^[8]

Senior societies

Student literary or fraternal societies of Dartmouth College date back to 1783. Starting in the late nineteenth century, students began creating societies for each of the four class years. Only the senior societies survive from those early class societies, and new ones have been added in recent years. Six of the eight senior societies keep their membership secret until Commencement, when members of all senior societies may be identified by their carved canes. In part, the availability of a house (as opposed to an infrequently-visited meeting hall) helps determine how secretive a society may be. About 25% of the senior class members are affiliated with a senior society today.

Each year, potential new members are chosen to be "tapped" either through personal selection by current members or through society-wide deliberations. Following tapping procedures -- which are partly coordinated by the college to ensure fair competition over "tappees" -- new members are inducted into societies through secret ceremonies that usually occur twice a year, in the winter and spring terms. The senior societies are Abaris, Casque and Gauntlet, Cobra, Dragon, Fire & Skoal, Griffin, Phoenix, Phrygian and Sphinx.

Abaris

Abaris is Dartmouth College's second newest Secret Senior Society, and newest co-ed society, founded in 1996. Year 1996 ( MCMXCVI) was a Leap year starting on Monday (link will display full 1996 Gregorian calendar) Abaris is one of four co-ed Senior Societies at Dartmouth, three of which are secret. It does not have a house and meets at various locales in town and at off campus houses. It takes its name from the legend of Abaris the Hyperborean healer, who was given a Golden Arrow by the Greek Pythagoras. Abaris redirects here For the Baroque opera see Les Boréades Abaris the Hyperborean' ( Greek: grc Ἄβαρις Ὑπερβόρειος "Pythagoras of Samos" redirects here For the Samian statuary of the same name see Pythagoras (sculptor.

They sought to encourage fellowship among campus leaders through intellectual and social pursuits. Membership is deliberately diverse with representative leadership from the College and members tap those who have also contributed to the community.
