Type “Dartmouth” into the search engine on Facebook.com and you’ll find more than 500 groups. The usual suspects—sports teams, alumni classes and the like—abound. Then there are the less obvious groups: streakers, pirates, even Collis rats. Here’s a look at some of the more unusual online groups you may want to check out.
