"They [Greek houses] are not going to dominate social life," Huffman said.
The Dartmouth Plan--a system of three 10-week semesters a year, with required classes during sophomore summer--also came under examination during the college's search for areas of improvement.
No changes have been proposed at the moment, but the board asked the administration to "assess the practical and financial consequences of modifying the current plan, including in the longer term moving to a regular calendar."
Paul said she chose Dartmouth because of the D-Plan and thinks that many students, herself included, are happy with the current academic calendar.
But she acknowledged the system has its problems.
"The D-Plan put a strain on my friendships and relationships," Paul said. "I felt the discontinuity."
The Board's proposals are the culmination of a self-examination process that began in February of last year, when the Board asked Dartmouth students, faculty, staff and graduates to examine the social life at the college and suggest changes to improve out-of-classroom life.
