I painted the laundry room pictured on the Alpha Gam site two summers ago, along with the help of a sister who works in my office. I remember it so well as we were explaining to an older alumna about why people thought we had interests in Bob Marley or Rastafarians due to our color combo of red, buff, and green, and she had never heard of Bob or Rastas.

Sleeping porches are in the majority at UI and Wazzu, and I think that they have pros and cons. My chapter has two porches, and I remember being told years ago that WaterChild's chapter house had two, and one was just for women who snored or talked in their sleep.

I have no idea what boys did when bringing women to their porch beds (my boyfriends lived off campus), but from what I was told people either just shacked up in public because they were d-runk and p-lastered, put up blankets or a sheet (butt hutt), or went to a room. I think only one fraternity doesn't allow women on their porch (Theta Chi), Farmhouse is in a converted dorm and has bedrooms, and Sigma Chi has apartments. Phi Delt may not have a porch and Sig Ep is porch free in their new place.

If I remember right when the Sigma Nus remodled over at Wazzu they put in heated floors for the porch.
