Every weekend during the winter, Dartmouth students venture through the brisk winds of Hanover to party at fraternities. Of course, for warmth, they bring a jacket -- better known as a frat jacket or "fracket." Normally, this is a more disposable article of winter garb in case of the unfortunate event that someone steals it. This has become an odd ritual at Dartmouth: fracket theft. Someone takes a jacket, then that person takes a different jacket, and so on. It's a never-ending cycle of thievery. In this special issue episode of The D-Brief, host Levi Port walks us through the phenomenon of frackets at Dartmouth College.
