WSU May Pull Frosh From Frats

A proposal to prohibit freshmen from living in fraternities would effectively "gut" the Greek system, a Washington State University regent said Thursday. Ted Baselar commended university officials for their efforts to reduce binge drinking and underage drinking by students, but said keeping freshmen from living in fraternities wasn't the solution. Students who belong to fraternities and sororities aren't admitted to the hospital for alcohol abuse in greater proportion to other university students, Baselar said. Moreover, Greek alumni are some of the university's strongest supporters, giving money and taking on leadership roles at a higher rate than other graduates/William L. Spence, Lewiston Tribune.

Question: Did you ever live in a fraternity/sorority?
