Could you a more in depth video about Dartmouth? The stuff no one talks about like boys, dating, what the food is like, what different majors are like, stuff like that haha. Thanks!

[@joelleolol]

haha sure! are there any more specific questions you want me to answer?

[@sophialudwig829]

This is amazing!!! I just got accepted for ED to Dartmouth so I'll be a 21'!!! I hope to see u there :) These videos are super helpful and making me so excited!!

[@joelleolol]

OMG CONGRATSSSS welcome to dartmouth!! haha absolutely- know you can always hit me up with questions or anything like that:)

[@PaulaJoline]

Thank you for this video again! Rush is starting tomorrow! So excited!! :))))

[@joelleolol]

ahhh omg good luck girl! and ofc i'm so glad to hear that it was useful!

[@bunnyplusdeer]

I was just thinking about social life at Dartmouth! I loved this video :)

[@dddffssdfsdfwesdhfdf]

Love how honest you were during this video! Definitely helpful for me when I rush in two weeks(my school does second semester recruitment).

[@joelleolol]

aw thank you so much haha yeah that's exactly what I was hoping for. and best of luck! hope you enjoy the process and that it works out for you!

[@PaulaJoline]

This video was super helpful! When I first came to Dartmouth, I thought I would never join a sorority... But now I am getting kinda excited to rush! :)))

[@joelleolol]

+Paula Joline awh im glad to hear it! Yeah idk if you think you'd be interested it's worth giving a shot!

[@alexisa1645]

I just found your channel and I am in love. You should do a video discussing your experience at Dartmouth/admissions.

[@joelleolol]

ofc! I've done some regarding like college apps as a whole you might find helpful but I can definitely do a more specific video if that would be helpful!

[@hennajamal6727]

Hello! I just found your channel and I love it in still in Highschool but it's been a dream of mine to go to Dartmouth. Could you maybe make a video about your process in getting in and your advice and what your first year there was like with the environment of classes, teachers, and students? Again I love your channel!!!

[@joelleolol]

hey henna! that's awesome I'd love to do something like that. I have videos up about my college app process and my freshman year at dartmouth already, but if you have more specific questions you want me to answer in addition I'd be totally down to do a q&a video or something! I'll probably post something on my instagram or you can just ask in a video comment and I'll do a more thorough response in a video:)

[@jennyjia5985]

HI!! One of my teachers was a kappa at Dartmouth too!! I have a question about the greek scene there in general. I know the "top tier" houses like KKG KDE at Dartmouth tend to be "less diverse", but correct me if I'm wrong. How do you think your rush experience differed or was affected because of your race? I'm an asian considering the greek scene, and historically, sororities are generally whiter?

[@joelleolol]

omg that's so funny! small world:) and that's 100000% true lol there is inherent racism in the greek system. I think I was definitely sized up against other asian girls when houses were considering me (whether they did so intentionally or not) because there is unfortunately still a sense of "minority exceptionalism" that houses seem to require. meaning that for a majority white sorority to accept a minority, they want to make sure they're getting the minorities that act most like them (in a way they can relate to) which totally sucks and is ultimately very arbitrary and superficial. Not great, but something I actively tried to change and fight against while I was at dartmouth!

ORGANIZATIONAL SUPPORT, SHE IS ABOUT TO ROLL.

[@vanessalynnarnold]

Love your video - is there a sorority that is more outdoors-minded?

[@joelleolol]

thanks! and I'd say sororities are pretty diverse actually and it probably depends on the year. sororities tend to go for a sort of mix of interests with each class so regardless of which one, you'll probably find some more outdoorsy girls!

[@yiweibian5679]

Please do a video on your experience of being an Asian at Dartmouth!!!!

[@joelleolol]

Sure! I've been thinking about doing something like that for a while just gotta plan out what to say. haha

[@bunnyplusdeer]

Can you talk about what it's like to be Asian at Dartmouth? I understand there should and shouldn't be a difference, you know what I mean? Identity is important and I'd love your take!

[@joelleolol]

of course! super relevant topic! I'd love to talk about it in a video or on livestream!

[@beloved1311]

Was it hard keeping up with your homework while rushing?

[@joelleolol]

haha I definitely had to budget my time and work hard, but thankfully it was so early in the year that I personally didn't have a ton of work scheduled during that week. However, for many of my friends it was TERRIBLE timing, so it really depended on classes.

[@julialevine1636]

hi joelle. does everyone get chosen for a house?

[@joelleolol]

hey julia! that used to be the case, but my year was the first year that didn't happen:( our intersorority council is working on making that the rule again though!

[@peytonbono]

You mentioned the “typical Dartmouth girl” can you go more in depth into that?

[@joelleolol]

yeah totally! It's something that I think becomes pretty apparent when you see campus life regularly, but there's definitely a type of girl (that is typically white, athletic, attractive, social, and enjoys partying) that is seen as the "norm." these aren't necessarily bad qualities, but when people feel they don't fall into that category, it can feel like they don't necessarily belong unfortunately :(
