In 1975, a group of women students created a series of skits for a sociology class assignment. The series evolved into the student production “You Laugh” which was later performed at the inter-fraternity play contest. The production expressed what it was like being a woman at Dartmouth. The actors shared personal experiences of harassment, gender-based violence, and discrimination. Famously, in the opening skit, the actors recited back the misogynistic words of the infamous hum, “Our Cohogs,” which was performed by their classmates at Green-Key weekend earlier that spring.
