Our chapter has never had a house mom, but I eat at TKE and their housemom, Marge, is the best woman ever. She isn't live in, though all houses here used to have live-ins, but she cooks and is around during the day. I love her to death. She keeps those boys in line, yells at them when they break stuff, makes sure they 'know' how to do dishes and when she is around, they are polite, well they don't swear as much, and they generally are much more respectful. I think it is great for college students to have that influence because it does help teach respect, manners and general proper living behaviors. I wish that is one aspect that would come back to our greeks systems. RA's are ok, but an adult who really understands and cares is just in another relm.
