San Diego - fraternities

[nibot]

I spammed the UCSD fraternities asking about summer housing. I received the following response:

Unfortunately here at UCSD we do not have houses.

It's a strange, strange world.

They don't have co-ops either, but that's less surprising.

I created a wiki page to track these SanDiego oddities.

Not terribly surprising given that UCSD is a relatively new university, and one with a much more primarily academic focus than most universities. (Chicago and Columbia are the obvious comparisons to me, though I actually don't know too terribly much about any of them, just the stereotypes.)

Also, at Stanford, sororities were all unhoused between the 1950s and the late 1990s. I think it had to do with body image and other dangerous behavior associated with sororities. I'm not sure why they evicted the sororities but not the fraternities though. I think the rehousing may have something to do with the fact that all sororities are now officially dry nationwide.
