Hello,
I live quite close to the new KA house on Hancock in Athen, GA. I read a previous thread debating the race issues. While this is a concern of mine, I also have more self-centered concerns. I am a grad student at UGA-this means I study and work (in a good week) at least 60 hrs/week. So, I have to get up pretty early, and I work late into the night, which is one reason I moved into a more residential neighborhood. I'd like to get an idea, from the Greek community, how loud it's going to be. In the past week, there have been two nights which I found their activities to be disruptive. Will this die down as the semester gets underway? I guess what I'm asking is this: if I'm patient and look the other way during the beginning of the semester (and probably home games), will the rest of the semester be quiet? Will they adjust their behavior (at least somewhat) to the neighborhood they've moved into? I'm trying to be open-minded, and I hope I haven't offended anyone, but I'm really nervous. I wasn't in the Greek system as an undergrad and have never lived this close to a frat house, so I really don't know what to expect.

Thanks.
