Once upon a time, freshman weren't allowed into frat parties until later in the year. Bereft of social options, the freshman improvised their own. Up until 1991, Russell Sage was the site of Odin's, a keg party that occurred every Wednesday night during meetings. The party was named after a mural of a viking that was painted on the fourth floor wall. Unfortunately, Dartmouth's keg ban ended killed the party and attempts to revive it by later years failed. Like the party, it seems the mural has disappeared as well and soon, it became a forgotten memory.
Today, it seems crazy that anyone would have a keg party in their dorm room and S&S is quick to come to any room that appears too noisy. I guess the tired cliché "no one rages anymore" is true - at least for any dorm party.
