Ever since the tragedy at the Chi O House at FSU (Ted Bundy), I think all groups are on 24/7 lockdown. There are various types: key, ID card swipe,PIN pad, handprint, fingerprint, (those two don't work real well in colder climes where the pad is outdoors), fobs, etc. They all work equally well so long as the women observe the rules: don't loan your key/card/fob/etc to anyone, don't give the combination out, don't prop the door open (many have alarms that sound if help open longer than so many seconds), don't open the door to people you don't know or aren't expecting. The women at Alpha Phi were obviously well trained and observant. They saved a lot of lives. I hope all our women will take a lesson from this.
