Bones Gate ("BG") is a local fraternal organization at Dartmouth College, an Ivy League university in Hanover, New Hampshire, United States.

[1][2] Bones Gate became a local fraternity in its own right in 1960 following a dispute between Dartmouth's ΔΤΔ chapter and the national organization over the latter's ban on non-white members.

[11] This is the university's harshest punishment for fraternities and sororities and included a loss of college insurance, maintenance services, and protection from direct dealings with the local police.

[11] The fraternity negotiated re-recognition in April 1989 after agreeing to address its members alcohol abuse and to implement several reforms such as removing its beer taps and hiring a counselor to lead annual retreats.

[11] In addition to its annual mud pit during Dartmouth's Green Key Weekend, BG is known on campus for its frequent hosting of bands and DJs, as well as its unorthodox pong rules.

[12] Campus involvement among its members varies widely; Bones Gate brothers are known to have leadership positions in several student organizations, ranging from club sports to cultural societies.

[15] In the summer of 2005, the Bones Gate residence underwent significant structural renovations to bring the building up to the college's minimum standards.
