Music in the Lounge A Co-op Study Room National Fraternities house approximately 2000 men in groups of 25 to 50. Both meals and lodgings are provided in each of the 55 fraternity chapter houses. Fraternity house bills average approximately $55 a month which ordinarily includes chapter dues and an entertainment fee as well as the charge for room and board. Some houses are supervised by resident housemothers and others by resident tutorial advisers, each group is responsible to University officials and to its Alumni Board for proper management of its organization. Membership in fraternities is by invitation only. "Rushing" appointments may be made during the preregistration period when fraternities select new members. New men interested in membership should communicate with the Dean of Men for rushing dates and other information if they have no other fraternity contacts at Illinois. During the fraternity rushing period rushees engage temporary quarters and should clearly stipulate the terms of their residence. A list of these accommodations is maintained in the office of the Dean of Men and the Division of Student Housing. Choosing a S t u d e n t H o m e After deciding on the type of residence which you prefer, you should then select the one from the group which seems best to fit your individual needs. Such points as location, furnishings, comfort, housekeeping, and cost should be considered before a room is contracted for. Any adjustments in the room or the rental arrangement are much better made before than after you have become a tenant. Copies of a semester rental agreement, use of which is optional with both housemother and student, are provided by the University. Their use contributes to a more satisfactory business relationship. Do not sign any rental agreement which you do not understand. If you have questions concerning a contract involving room rental call the Division of Student Housing at 6-2594. These agreements are binding once they are executed. Academic Collaboration Page fourteen Kitchen Duty
