When members of the Thought Project Living Learning Community return to campus this fall, they will not be moving to their expected housing in the McLaughlin Cluster. Members of the LLC will have been relocated to 11 Webster Avenue for the 2019-20 academic year, the building which housed Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity until it was placed on probation last fall. Thought Project members were informed of the news on Monday in an email from dean of residential life Mike Wooten. College spokesperson Diana Lawrence wrote in an email

statement that this move is the result of an unusually large incoming class of ’23s. “The Dartmouth admissions office has experienced an unprecedented surge of interest from prospective students,” Lawrence wrote. The College received more than 50 students over the number expected, according to Wooten. “While the College has significantly reduced the number of offers made to applicants in recent years in order to maintain the entering class size, demand has exceeded our expectations,” Lawrence wrote. T he College will be accommodating incoming ’23s using beds in McLaughlin that

will be available following the Thought Project’s move, as well as converted lounge spaces in other first-year residence halls, according to Wooten. All other Living Learning Communities will remain housed in the McLaughlin Cluster. In fall 2018, Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity’s national board of directors suspended the Dartmouth chapter’s charter for two years following an investigation which revealed ongoing violations of a nationwide alcohol probation issued by the fraternity, according to Lawrence. She said that following its closure, the alumni and volunteer corporation established a two-year lease SEE SIGEP PAGE 2
