I wish UW had enough on-campus housing to have freshman live in the dorms, but the university relies on the Greek System to help fill the housing need. Believe me, it is a pain in the rear to try and figure out how many beds to hold open and then have all your new members move in on Bid Day. And then if you get quota additions you weren't expecting and you have to find room somewhere for those new members. Nightmare.
While it's a shame there are members who won't get to live in chapter facilities at all, I love the setup of the Bama houses - all that community space and then beds enough for some.
