You don't keep the goat...you get a fresh one each time.

Ritual Goat Slaughters aren't as effective on dead goats...and they tend to be smelly.

You guys get to use goats? We have to use sheep, but then again Little BoPeep IS one of our most famousist alumna (and I know that's true 'cause I saw it on a chapter's website!)

Try keeping a pride of lions around! It's not like they can be transported from chapter to chapter for each initiation! And the ER costs for the lion bites? Sometimes I think half of the initiation fees are solely for those!

At my school, all org's have houses, our house was built specifically for my organization and it is a big recruitment tool. I lived in the house for 2 years and loved ever second of it (even the bad stuff). I'm not sure what a campus would be like without a house (houses), but we used it as a meeting place mainly, and as long as you have that, I would imagine that it would work very well

Commonly, if all are on the same playing field it is a lot easier.

When one has the edge, a house maybe, it helps. But as another poster mentioned, it can be a lot of money to have to handle.

Dorm floors are more usual as Astro said as I know where she went to school. Many of the Fraternities had the same thing and some are doing quite well. But, times may have changed since I was there.

All GLOs at my Alma Mater PSU-Ks, have houses and have for years.

The main thing is to have a place that you all can get together with each other. If a floor, you can open the doors for a good old gathering!

If a few members have a rental house off campus it too can give a central place to hang!

my chapter has a lodge.
no one lives in the lodge, and there are no bedrooms.
I like it that way though.
It feels more like everyone's house.
And there is always someone hanging out in the lodge when you stop over.
it's pretty cool.
