All the houses at Nebraska have cooks.

Some are better than others. Ours is awesome, and I love her to death. All the brothers who live in the house get meals as part of their live in fees. Those who live out have two options - either all meals or only monday night formal dinners. I think most choose all meals b/c then they don't have to pay for fast food. I'm not sure about my pledge brothers who live in the dorms. I think that they have plans for both, but only the cheapest dorm one.

Considering that room and board for the house, for pledges is only 90 dollars more than it would be for the dorms, and out of that we get social activities, supplies like pledge manual, badge adn the like, it's obviously more economical to be in the house. After the first semester the house bill is only about 2000 dollars a semester so in the end it adds up to be about 300 dollars cheaper than the dorms.

Finally, the food we have is fantastic, but not all the houses have such a good cook. So we are really lucky. For me, the food is a lot more regular and better than the food I have at home so I enjoy it.

Do you mean that pledges can live in the house? Would you mind explaing how that works?
