While the role of Dartmouth's Greek system has been the subject of perennial debate at the College, leaders in the College's Greek system told The Dartmouth this week that, in recent months, they have sought to step up efforts to address the public image of Greek organizations, attempting to expand outreach efforts and combat stereotypes.
