When I was in college, the dorm system transitioned from physical keys (every resident was issued two keys, one for the dorm building and one for his/her room) to card readers at each dorm entrance (you swiped your student ID to get in) and a physical key for your room.
FSILG (fraternity, sorority, and independent living group) houses typically had a combination lock to get into the house. Non-resident members were given the combination, as committee meetings frequently took place in the house, and non-resident members were welcome to hang out in the house, participate in study groups, etc. Non-members had to ring the bell or knock, and explain to the person who answered the door whom they were there to visit and why.
In all cases, we were warned about "ghosting" (you swipe your keycard and someone you don't know follows you in).
