Andrew Lohse is a whistleblower like few others, for he isn’t divulging information about illicit corporate or government activities. Instead, he’s telling the world something it already knows, but in a fashion that still shocks us.

Of the New York Daily News, Sherrely Connelly reports:

Dartmouth fraternity pledges ordered to swim through feces in boxer shorts among hazing rituals, says book

Elite Dartmouth University fraternity pledges were ordered to swim through a kiddie pool filled with urine, feces and vomit in their boxer shorts, according to a new book that reveals the seamy side of Greek life.

In “Confessions of an Ivy League Frat Boy,” whistleblower Andrew Lohse reports that wallowing in the pool of human waste was only one of the disgusting or dangerous hazing rituals he and others were subjected to as Sigma Alpha Epsilon pledges in 2009.

Binge drinking was formalized in a game known as Doming. Described as “a Dartmouth tradition,” two students face off chugging beers at five- or 10-second intervals. The winner vomits on the loser’s head.

Lohse, who arrived at Dartmouth as an A student from Branchville, N.J., depicts a debauched life that makes “Animal House” seem decorous by comparison.
