Reached at Dartmouth last night, some students said they fear the administrative action will leave their social life high and dry and restrict student freedoms.
"I can't imagine a social life without them," said Huffman, referring to the tap systems, mass refrigeration systems and permanent bars. "We have no other center of social activity."
"The party line is that [these changes] are infringing on their rights," added Jaimie A. Paul, former president of the Co-ed Fraternity Sorority Council.
But some students, including Paul, support the changes.
"It means that it's going to be a lot harder to serve mass quantities of alcohol," said Paul, who added that this will help prevent consumption by underage drinkers.
In anticipation of dissent from students, the board also called for expanding the current student center and creating more social centers. The statement also endorses placing an undergraduate advisor in each Greek house. Paul supports this change and Huffman said she feels if the advisor is young, he or she "could be a good role model."
And while Huffman supports some of the changes, she said she feels Dartmouth's hey-day of fraternity life may be waning.
