Not all City Campus fraternities have a
full house and the co-ops downtown are
having trouble filling up, too. But while
these living units are having trouble with
membership, their East Campus
counterparts seem to be doing all right.
East Campus fraternities have full
memberships with the exception of Alpha
Gamma Sigma. AGS member Dale Ekart
says that's because their new house is so
big it wi II be some time before they can
fill it.
Summer rush helped East Campus
frats more than those on City Campus.
FarmHouse needed only one member to
fill its quota this fall and Alpha Gamma
Rho didn't participate in rush week-they
were already full. (.
While there were houses on City
Campus that didn't get as many visitors
during rush week as they had vacancies,
East Campus houses are actually
over-flowing with members. Farmhouse,
AGR and Ag Men, for example, have
active members who live in apartments.
The two East Campus co-ops, Ag Men
and Love Hall, every year have more
applicants than they can accommodate.
Most of the present Ag Men heard
about the co-op from friends or relatives.
Each year they send out fewer and fewer
letters advertising their co-op.
But, despite the fact that the houses
are affiliated with East Campus, many of
their members are not.
Seventy per cent of the members of
AGS are City Campus majors. Ag Men is
only 50 per cent agriculture majors, as is
AGR. Forty per cent of FarmHouse's
members have city majors. The exception
is Love Hall which limits its members to
home economics majors.
As a result, some East Campus
students may be forced to look for
independent housing-housing which at
times is simply not available.
Whether from City or East Campus,
the members of East Campus fraternities
and co-ops list many reasons for living
there.
Some say they like the campus, or the
way the fraternities "don't put on a
show," or that they like the people.
Whatever their reasons, they must be
good-fraternity and co-op housing on
East Campus is at a premium.
