First, it's great that there were no deaths or injuries.
Bags of shredded paper?
Old test files? Whatever.
There have been threads on this before in Risk Management.
Fires are among the biggest causes of insurance claims for fraternities (along with falls from high places and fights).
A few years ago, there was an early morning fire at the Beta House at Ohio University. When the Fire Department arrived, they found all of the members outside (including one surprised young lady who hurt her arm jumping from a window) with a full accounting (roll call) of everyone who had been in the house. O.U. requires a fire drill of each Greek house at least once per academic quarter.
It is worrisome that, according to the newspaper article on this (Nebraska) incident, when the University Police searched the house, some people were found still asleep in their rooms -- especially since many fire related deaths are from smoke rather than flames. The Ohio University model may be a good one to follow.
