My hubby's old fraternity house had a sand volleyball court, but I don't think that's very unusual (seen them at other houses). Alpha Xi at Texas has a swimming pool.
The ADPi house at Texas also has a pool.

Don't know. I went alum *mumble* years ago.

That's a good idea.

Using a bible wasn't considered an honor code violation. Most students pretty much understood that, if a professor reused old questions and the student just copied the answers out of a bible, s/he was doing him/herself a disservice. If the course in question was a prerequisite, then, when the student took the more advanced courses, the fact that the student had just copied the answers and not internalized the material would bite him/her in the ass. If you copied your way through basic calculus, you'd never survive differential equations, for example.

BTW, there were non-greek groups at my school that had their own bible collections. My chapter was unhoused, and I could have donated my bibles to my sorority's collection or to my dorm floor's collection. (They're long since obsolete, of course, unless someone really wants to learn about token ring or frame relay LOL )

I believe several of the Greek houses at U of Texas have pools.

Daughter's sorority house had a "library" that was one of the few informal gathering places in the house. It mostly hosted card games, studying, and TV watching. They redecorated. Result - not one book in the "library" - only a giant TV.

Same thing at IU, at least when I was there. IUSA (student government) maintained a set of test files at the main library, available to any student.

My sorority did, and still does, have a dedicated Chapel, with a stained glass window, nice carpet and seating for a small group. Also a sun deck for those whose worship is of a different type...

We also had houseboys who served dinner every day. (we also sang Kappa Delta grace every night)

We had a part-time "house mom" at our chapter, who helped organize things like our holiday party/gift exchange and parents weekend. She was also on hand before our formals and initiations to offer any wardrobe assistance.

She didn't do any of our chores, but if anyone had questions about how to do stuff - laundry, sew a button - she'd tell them how to do it.
