At the U. of Iowa the practices vary, as the story from the May 6 student paper shows.

Special Note: In another thread an alumnae house board advisor pointed out (gently chastising me, with a sense of humor) that regularly-fluffed pillows in formal living areas are not her concern. Please see the last paragraph of the student paper story (above) with its reference to the Alpha Chi living room with symmetrically placed pillows. OK, it doesn't say "fluffed," but still . . . .
