CFS organizations would be required to maintain a minimum number of members and house advisers and either become co-ed or affiliate with an opposite-sex organization. CFS members would also have to fulfill a community service requirement.

Under the new proposals, the university would also enforce a requirement that any individual who participates in rush be guaranteed membership in at least one CFS organization. Due to fears of hazing, the rules also require that CFS organizations eliminate the pledge process.

Because they don't have the minimum membership or simply don't want to follow these rules, likely several CFS groups will disband or be de-recognized by the school.

The college hopes that residential "clusters"--groups of adjacent residence halls with associated social spaces--will replace CFS groups as the center of Dartmouth student life.

The ultimate goal of the cluster system closely resembles Harvard's House system, in that students will remain affiliated with a cluster from matriculation or their sophomore year through graduation.

Each cluster would have student representatives to the Cluster Council, as well as college employees called Cluster Coordinators residing in the buildings.

According to the proposal, student dining will become less centralized. Dartmouth currently has centralized dining in Thayer Hall. The initiative proposes an additional new full-service dining facility as well as smaller snack bars.
