I went to URI, and there is definitely fraternity and sorority housing there. A couple of years ago they had to do a little work in our house so that it'd meet new fire standards, which I think were a result of the Station House fire. But the so called "brothel laws" are not existent in RI, and really anywhere.

I must agree with you about the fire standards though. Schools in MA get away with a lot more than at URI. I actually see dorm rooms with paper on them and posters in the windows. Totally not allowed at URI in the dorms or greek houses when I was there.

Tom, the LXA house is amazing at URI. I haven't been in it since they got it back (Phi Sig had it for about 10 years I think), but it's your typical greek house, white with columns in the front. Most URI houses look like ski lodges, so this is a big deal. Last I knew, the chapter was doing great as well. They improved themselves greatly when I was in school (graduated in 2001). Doubled their size one semester, still before they had their house back.
