Coming from a chapter that suffered from a large house fire, I can tell you that they can quickly end the future of a chapter. Luckily no one died at our house but following the fire the chapter has taken almost 10 years to rebuild itself.
While the initial expense of a sprinkler system may seem stagering, it is cheaper to install it in a new building than to renovate the house.
UF was very effective in encouraging chapters to install fire supression systems, they have a point system for fire inspections, with 100 points resulting in no social events at the house. A house that lacked a fire system automatically got 90 points.
