A new university policy to be implemented by the Office of Student Life will require that all fraternity houses receiving a sophomore exemption, which releases sophomores from their commitment to live in university housing and have a live-in residential director, according to Greek Life Coordinator Robert Turning
...The residential directors, or "House Moms", must be in place for the fall 2005 semester.
The live-in advisor would be responsible for monitoring the upkeep and security of the building and possibly advising chapter officers in chapter activities. They would also be expected to participate in the same training as university-sanctioned residential advisors.
The change has left some fraternity members upset at what they feel is the abrupt nature of the policy's announcement.
Matt Cook, who will serve as Sigma Phi Epsilon's live-in residential director as a graduate student beginning in September, said, "The IFC director hadn't mentioned it before the fact. It seemed like someone was working behind the scenes to prevent us from having sophomores in the house."
