When I started the Local, We didnt have a House. I got us one for the second Sem. and everyone was able to get out of their contracts and moved in. A rental house only but we worked our rears off to get it nice looking. The fartherest one from Campus and We walked. No Big Deal, it was ours.
Had 3 other Roomies, blocked off a Nook to make a bedroom. Built a room in the basement for a room. 16 guys and two bath tubed rooms. We built a shower in the dungeon.
Lived there 1 1/2 years till I got married but was at the House as much as I was at the little peice of crap She and I rented.
Different then, yepper, We had a Mission to Join a National Fraternity so We all worked our rears off. We had a ball working, playing, and studying together even though most had various Vocations of study. House rules, quiet Hours, We had to get our Grades.
I would not have missed any moment of it. It was Our Focal Point. Hey where is so and so, at the House!!
Live in the House and enjoy, then get out as You get older and let someone else have the fun.
