I wonder if they could really still do that - tell girls that because of their hometown, they had different housing options than the other members. I would think in this day and age that would be looked at as discrimination.

That is really sad...especially b/c my pledge brother and his girlfriend could have it right now...but i guess considering how few beta/kappa couples there have been in my time, I guess those sorts of traditions get lost. I wonder where it is.

I heard this was the policy for Lawrence girls who attended the University of Kansas from a woman who graduated in the 60s. She has no idea if this is still the case.

You have to remember that Nebraska is not a very populous state. If you had to house all the Lincoln girls, along with the Omaha girls, there'd be very little room for the girls from Bugtussle and Hooterville.

And like every college town, if you make the decision to go to school where you live, normally you live at home to save money. Or at least that's the way it used to be in the "olden days". We didn't even think about that being "discrimination", when nowadays that's the first thing that comes to mind.
