In a surprise move earlier this month, the Board of Trustees lifted its moratorium on the creation of additional single-sex, selective and residential organizations. The decision, which was announced the Monday following Commencement, marks a significant departure from the trustees' 2001 decision to forbid the establishment of additional Greek houses.
The moratorium was among the more notorious elements of the 1999 Student Life Initiative, an ongoing effort to modify social and residential life at the College that revolves heavily around the Greek system.
