Tabard in Trouble
Sept/Oct 2010

Coed fraternity Tabard found itself on the wrong side of the law for serving alcohol to minors in May. The frat pleaded no contest to two charges in midJuly, leading to a plea agreement with the Grafton County prosecutor that calls for two years probation for the fraternity, a $4,000 fine (with $3,500 of that suspended) and an order for Tabard members to perform 500 hours of community service. Tabard is also prohibited from serving hard liquor on its premises until June of 2011.

According to Hanover police, Tabard was one of six Greek organizations that authorities identified as having served minors during spring term, when police threatened undercover compliance checks at Dartmouth fraternities and sororities. All six organizations were warned that subsequent violations would result in prosecution. "Within days of this warning, Tabard was found to be in violation again," according to a police press release. "I'm ecstatic," Tabard summer president Emily Liu '12 told TheD. "It could have been a lot worse."
