Here, most of the 7 sororities and a couple of the 14 fraternities have cooks. At my house, we all try to get together for lunch and dinner every day-- kind of like having dinner with your family every night while you were growing up. Most of the fraternities and a few of the sororities do not have cooks, however, because of financial difficulties. For those of you that don't know, I go to school in Grand Forks, ND, the site of the 1997 Red River Valley flood. Since '97, money has been pretty tight for some houses, so they can't afford a cook. In this instance, I've heard that either it's not a requirement to eat together, or everyone pitches in and cooks together on one or two special nights of the week.
The phone question comes up a lot here. Our house JUST got phones in each bedroom of the house a couple semesters after the flood. All I can say is there are MANY horror stories about lines to use the phone, rules on time limits, etc. Our house was, I believe, the last GLO on campus to have phone lines linked to every room.
