Request[edit]

Someone needs to fact-check when Tabard went coed. I believe that was with my rush class, which was in the winter/spring term of 1981, and I don't recall seeing women on composite photos from before then. mrs (talk)

I have no doubt that the Tabard has evolved into the non-discriminatory institution described here. But the transition was neither as voluntary nor as seamless as this article implies.

Dartmouth College required Sigma Chi to "go local" in 1960 because of the racial discrimination clause in the national charter.

Yet three years later the 1963-1964 fraternity president was forced to resign because an African-American student was told during Rush Week that his race would black-ball him.

I claim no special enlightenment. We Dartmouth students in 1963 were largely oblivious to the racial changes brewing nationally. The few black students on campus were mostly African exchange students. Kegs and "Louie, Louie" concerned us far more than Martin Luther King's dream.

However revisionist history is destructive and condemns us to repeat the past. The Tabard had no African-American members during my years at Dartmouth, and I do not know when the first was pledged. 76.27.247.151 (talk) 11:09, 15 September 2009 (UTC) Bob Johnstone[reply]
