Our unofficial houses were just campus rental houses so they changed frequently. A group of girls would all lease a house together and we'd call it "The House". The summer after I pledged, Rich was living in the TKE house during the summer and taking summer classes. I tried to call him one day (from a payphone, with a bag full of quarters to talk to him.. the good old days) and kept getting a busy signal. I tried over and over and thought "that's weird, nobody uses the phone in that house for THIS long". Later that evening, I got a call from Rich. He had been making breakfast in a toaster oven and left an oven mitt on top of the toaster. The oven mitt caught on fire. He tossed it in the sink, ran water over it and tossed it in the garbage. But, apparently, it was still burning inside and it ended up burning down their house while he was at class. Nobody else was in the house at the time either. So, they ended up renting the house we had just moved out of for the next couple years. I don't know if they ended up buying a new one or not. A lot of the houses, even the Fraternity houses, are long term rentals there.
