Silver lining (and a reminder: smoke detectors, fire alarms, fire drills, etc. can and do save lives)

"all of the occupants made it out of the building before crews arrived on the scene."

FYI, UW Whitewater isn't a "branch" campus. Each of the UW campuses is stand alone, and has a unique culture and often specialty. Whitewater is the UW campus known for strong business and music departments, and is known for strong D3 athletics (football and baseball especially).

UW doesn't work like PA or other states, where kids start at one campus and transfer to the "main" campus.

Having said that, am so glad no one was seriously hurt and that chapter members are receiving help in the form of alternate housing and counselling.
