An account of sordidness and redemption by the Dartmouth
fraternity member whose Rolling Stone profile blew the
whistle on the frat's inhumane hazing practices. Always trust the brotherhood.
Always protect your pledge brothers.
What happens in the house stays in the house. Before attending Dartmouth, the worst thing Andrew Lohse had
ever done was skip school to attend a John McCain rally.
Growing up in suburban New Jersey, he was the typical
American honor student: straight-As, on the lacrosse team,
president of the Model U.N. He dreamed of following in his
grandfather’s footsteps and graduating from the Ivy League.
When he arrived at Dartmouth, however, he found not the
prestigious college of years past, but a wasteland of
privilege and moral entropy. And when he rushed Sigma Alpha
Epsilon, the fraternity that inspired the rival house in
Animal House, Lohse’s once-perfect life, as well as his
goals, began to crumble around him. Lured by free booze and friendly brothers, Andrew pledged
Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and soon his life became a dangerous
cycle of binge drinking and public humiliation. From
chugging vinegar to swimming in a pool of human waste,
Lohse’s pledge class endured cruelty and psychological
coercion in the hopes of obtaining a bid. Although Andrew
succeeded in joining the fraternity, the pattern of abuse
continued—except over time, he became the abuser. Told by a contemporary Holden Caulfield, this is a shocking
exposé of America’s most exclusive institutions and a
cautionary tale for modern times.
