I have seen a few guys in my fraternity be able to monitor the amount of activity of the individual computers on our network by entering a certain DOS command on a Windose machine. Is there a way I can do the same thing on my 10.3.4 G4 iMac (with UNIX, perhaps?). Thanks.

I would guess that they were using a SNMP reader on SNMP enabled machines. MacOS X can take part in both roles if you install the software. Far easier is to simply ssh into the box, and run top.
From the wording of your question, I think you probably have a lot to learn before either of these would be useful to you.

Check out ntop, the swiss-army knife of network monitoring.

Agreed, I don't know much about this stuff. I guess that's why I'm asking.

Not too sure, but I think they could monitor how much each person was uploading/downloading or if they were even connected to the internet to begin with.

While ntop is great, I can't get it to consistently build. I got it working on my home machine and work laptop, but it would really be useful on an old iBook that I could attach to the office router, but I can't persuade gdlib to install on it.
Point is, I usually know how to compile from source, but am having trouble with ntop so it might be beyond someone who says they don't know much about this stuff.
