Our house mom was with us for over 10 years. And then she died--- the house mother suite was formally dedicated in her memory. Nice lady and loved by all, but she didn't interact a whole heck of a lot with the girls in her later years.

A couple of the fraternity houses on campus had live-in house moms, but no house dads. One now-defunct fraternity chapter ran their house-mom off years ago... (I'm sure the older UCF folks on the boards can easily figure out which one that was...)

The House Mom at my undergrad chapter has been there more than 20 years, and we all loved her. She is a classy lady and always found a positive way to remind those girls who broke house rules. She did teach us formal etiquette during meals (I still know to break my roll and then butter it and not to divorce the salt and pepper) and was so much fun. One year she even did the Polar Bear Plunge (where members raised money and then jumped into the campus "lake") with us for Greek Week. Her door was always open if you needed to talk about anything and I still stop by and say Hi when we're in town for football games.

The House Director at the chapter I advise is awesome. She does so much more than is required by the position and the girls love her.

I have heard of some chapters having a House Dad. Gamma Phis at Iowa State had house Parents until the year before I went through recruitment.
