Interesting! It must be from either Drake or Simpson. The house mom for Iowa is a young alum--she kind of fell into the position, the previous house mom was a complete controlling witch who only lasted 6 weeks--and I can't imagine Mom Miller from Iowa State leaving yet.

I believe all of the sororities at Iowa State have House Directors and many, but not all, fraternities have a House Director.

Our house mother (actually, her official title was House Director) was a mentor, a counselor, an enforcer and a friend. She was in charge of the day-to-day activities of the chapter house: if things were broken, they were fixed; if the living room needed new curtains, she ordered them; if one of us was very sick she would take care of us/call the doctor/let our professors know. She made sure we were safe, we were following the house rules (no boys, no beer) and cared for each of us. She taught us proper etiquette and graciousness. Her door was always open if we wanted to go in and talk about anything. In a sense, she was a surrogate mother while we were in college. It wasn't that, as college and sorority women, we couldn't take care of ourselves, it just helped that she was there. She has been the HD for our house for 19 years and we'll hate to see her leave.
