If there’s a reason I’ve contributed as much as I have to The Chronicle in four years, it’s because of a desire for truth. I think we reporters serve a real purpose in bringing topics to light that deserve the light—I have proudly seen my friends write about sexual harassment, Tallman Trask and even Pitchforks at its prime hour, 2 a.m. on a Sunday.
Within 48 hours of bids being handed out to Duke Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic Association students, senior editor at Bloomberg News John Hechinger spoke the Rubenstein Library Tuesday afternoon about some of the problems facing fraternities in America.
With any story driven by a large data set, we know there will be limitations and concerns. So, we wanted to use this space to be as transparent as possible.

ORLANDO, Fla.—Two years ago, an upstart Duke team beat veteran Florida State to advance to the national championship. Friday night, the Blue Devils were the veteran team, returning 15 players from the 2015 runner-up squad and facing a starting lineup of eight underclassmen.
Duke head coach Robbie Church usually makes calculated superlatives. He does not say that his team is his best ever, just that it is the most consistent. Asked about Rebecca Quinn throughout the season, he spoke extremely highly of her, but still held back.
There is that theme in sports that is so easy to love. A showdown between a team that has one last hurrah, and another team that is just beginning its rise to the top.
In the two weeks since Duke had last played at Koskinen Stadium—against Boston College in the ACC quarterfinals—it became a completely different season. The trees that had been green surrounding the stadium had changed into their amber colors, and the warm temperatures had dropped into the 30s.
One might think that after Duke beat Virginia 1-0 to claim the ACC regular-season title, and then celebrated quite animatedly in the locker room, that perhaps the Blue Devils would come out flat and overconfident against Boston College.
It would be hard to know it now, since Duke has been a national contender the past 15 years.
Before Sunday’s game, the public address announcer at Koskinen Stadium asked the crowd to get rowdy, saying that the game day staff would throw pink-colored mini soccer balls from the top of Kennedy Tower.
The Chronicle's Jack Dolgin examined a part of football many punters, including Duke's Austin Parker, struggle with—pinning teams inside their own 20 yard-line. Parker has on average pinned opponents to their 18-yard line when punting from the 50 yard-line or closer to the opponent's goal line. In contrast, punters playing against the Blue Devils during his career have on average pinned Duke to the 15-yard line. The question was whether not being able to kick the ball far would actually be an advantage, so Dolgin wondered whether he, a former high school soccer player, could pin opponents even better than some NCAA punters in short-distance punting situations. You can watch the video for the full story.
If there were any questions about this team, Duke put them to rest three minutes in.
There’s a lot of great basketball players who have played games in Cameron Indoor Stadium.
For all the talk about the dangers of football, guess what? That’s not new!
When you’re 10-0 in your last 10 games, having beaten three ranked teams along the way, and preparing to face a team that missed the NCAA tournament the last three years, why bother with it?
John Koskinen had never seen anything like it. Neither had Herb Neubauer, better known as Crazy Towel Guy, or Duke head coach John Kerr, all fixtures at Blue Devil soccer games for the last 30 years.
After Friday night’s home win, Duke head coach Robbie Church held a blue team jersey in his hand. He quipped that the number on the back represented his age.
When Old Dominion scouted Duke, it must have noticed Imani Dorsey’s recent production—during the first three games this year, she already had an assist and two highlight-reel goals.
