New neighbors on Fraternity row.

I disagree with both of you and am positive this house will always be full. Not every college student believes that partying with alcohol and 'hooking up' are prerequisites for a college degree.

I hope the bolded text I highlighted above wasn't a shot at Greek life. As Social Chairman for my fraternity during the early 1990's, I helped organize and promote "dry" events and our middle-of-winter hot cocoa and pictionary event with a sorority was one of the best-attended events of the early era of non-alcoholic parties. I've been away from Grand Forks and the fraternity scene for a long time now, so perhaps things have changed, but it's funny how one movie from the 1970's continues to generate stereotypes regarding fraternity and sorority life.

No, it's an observation of what alot of college sudents think college life is suppose to be. It's also a response to two members who don't think a house like the Newman House will be in demand. I disagree.

While we had our share of partyers, most of the guys in my house were there for the right reasons: To get a college degree.

I agree with your assessment and if there wasn't a demand for this type of housing, it probably wouldn't have gotten off the ground.
