Housemothers featured in American Profile

http://www.americanprofile.com/

Nice!

American Profile is a newspaper feature magazine (like Parade). This week's cover story features the housemothers on three campuses: Kappa Kappa Gamma at Washington State; Beta Theta Pi at Oklahoma; and FarmHouse at South Dakota State.

What a sweet article! I wish they had said more about the Kappa House Mom, though. It was mostly about the boys :p

When I retire, I want to be a house mother.

I would love to be a house mom one day too! Here at Ole Miss there have been house moms and house dads (always a married retired couple). I think it would be a very rewarding job.

I always wanted to be a house mom too. With 3 boys, and ALL their friends living and hanging out all these years, I've kind of been a defacto one anyway.

But, next year, when I'm an "Empty Nester" :( - I would love to adopt a whole new group of young men.

Of course, my husband might have something to say about me moving out.... ;)

Ooh, Olemiss - I've never heard of that, but maybe I can talk my husband into doing it too!! He'd be awesome! I wonder if I could talk him into it - need to start scheming now. LOL

Rats! They missed the GC Housemothers!

How nice as I can lovingly recall Mom Buck from the SX house and how she took so much care of her boys. She had a huge heart and broad shoulders!

Why yes, Tom, you already told us all about "Mom Buck" back in 2005.

She taught how to be Gentleman, Eat with out being Slobs, How to Eat Butter Paddys for New Pledges so they would not get to drunk!

If you were going to a Formal function, how to Tie Your Tie, Look Nice and Be a Gentleman.

I have respected Her for Many Years even though it did not become My Fraternity.

God What A Read of Back then in the Time Of John Tesch, a Member there.:cool:

Met The House Mom at the U. Ks. Chapter one time a fox. Asked Her out, Oh, She was Younger than Me. :D

If she said Yes, it would have been tough explaining to the Brothers There Why I was sleeping in the Living Room!:)

Oh, Long Trip on Roadway!;)

House Moms Can Be a Great Thing, We did not have one when I started The Local and said couldnt afford it! Well, I look back now and say, damn Did We screw up!:o

Oh, Broke the House Mom Rule!:confused:

Need them more no than every from the sounds of the problems!:rolleyes:

LMAO...busted without smilies!

I was house mom for a chapter of Alpha Phi for two years where I went to grad school - it was so much fun, I definitely recommend it (if you have the right personality for it!). My college campus didn't have greek housing, so it was so great to watch all the stuff that happened at the house, from the mundane to Greek Week and recruitment, etc. Although I like my clean, quiet house now, I miss being there :(
