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 )
