If you don t interact, you are just setting yourself up for failure. Fraternities as recent as 20 years ago almost all had house moms. In the late 60s, they started to become out of fashion. By 1980, very few did. Things become tradition so quickly over the course of two semesters.
New members see how something is done and it continues to be done that way.
It is good to have older people living in the house simply to say you really don t have to do it that way if you have another idea or way of handling this problem or running an event. I m just glad to have the opportunity to help out. We have seen the complete destruction of every fraternity on this campus. Walk into any fraternity house that has not undergone a major renovation lately and it looks like a complete dump. Some of it is natural wear and tear, but a lot of it is the loss of decorum.
