Mizzou Greek Houses Must Meet Fire Code...
Quoted and paraphrased from the campus newspaper at Missouri:
"MU fraternities and sororities will be required to install sprinkler systems in their houses now that the Columbia City Council has voted to adopt the 2006 International Fire Code.
Those who spoke at Tuesday’s meeting supported adopting the new safety provision.
However, representatives speaking on behalf of MU’s 37 Greek houses said the deadline for installing the sprinkler systems, Dec. 31, 2012, puts a financial burden on fraternities and sororities, and could result in some houses shutting down."
The code includes sprinklers in every house.
This is a situation that houses at many schools will likely face in the future.
It is the right thing to do, and very important since fires are a huge Risk Management problem overall, but it will be a tremendous financial hardship to many chapters.
