Nope. If incoming freshmen are under 21 and have less than 24 credit hours, they are required to reside in University housing, the only exception being if the freshman lives within commuting distance (within 20 miles) of OU with his or her parents.
Few, if any pledges or junior members will actually live in the fraternity house their freshman year at OU.
Firehouse is right... the IFC is effectively controlled by the larger, more established houses such as Beta, Kappa Sig and SAE. Smaller houses almost always get the shaft when it comes to rush, though they make up for it in dedication. I'm glad the Sig Eps are fighting back.
BTW, Firehouse, what house are you in, if I may ask? Our chapter has been inactive since 2000, used to be at the old Phi Delt 'Ski Lodge' at the foot of College Avenue
