I go to SCU and I went into the DG house (which, btw, they don't live in anymore, they moved out this summer into a HUGE house) for composites. The reason their chapter room looks like a living room is because it IS a living room---it's right off the main hallway. They must not have a rule about non-initiates going in, b/c that was where we all took our composities, right there in that room. I don't know what they'll use for a chapter room in the new house, though.
