petey23 Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Have things changed on Campus? Some of the ne'erdowells I went to school with would have taken this as a personal challenge. http://www.grandforksherald.com/articles/index.cfm?id=77436 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxHKfPvLx6o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottM Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 For some reason, I don't really see an overwhelming demand for this place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sioux-cia Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
