Four students shared their experiences with intersectionality at the first of a four panel series hosted by V-February on Sunday afternoon.

and so it tends to reflect the demographic of the Dartmouth student body, but this is a very intentional move to shift the focus and bring intersectionality into the spotlight to start the month of February and to have that in mind throughout,” Marsicano said. The panelists — Adria Brown ’15, CJ Jones ’16 , Rachael Rhee ’16 and Yomalis Rosario ’15 — spent around 30 minutes delivering prepared remarks, then took questions from the organizers and the audience.

Rhee spoke about her experiences as a woman of color in Dartmouth’s army ROTC program and in the Greek system. “At first I wondered if I joined ROTC [and] if I rushed because I wanted to erase my identity as an Asian American woman at Dartmouth,” she said. “Was I trying to erase my race somehow by being all American? Maybe, perhaps, yes in SEE V-FEBRUARY PAGE 3

Some associated the ban on hard alcohol with the elimination of pledge terms in the fall, while others put the ban in context of recent concerns over sexual assault related to drinking and Greek life.
