- Rent contracts are mandatory for every brother.
- If a brother misses or does not pay in full one rent payment, a letter explaining the situation will be sent to the brother’s parents and the brother will be allowed two weeks to pay the money he owes. If the brother does not pay in full after the two-week window, he will be allowed one week to move out. The brotherhood will be notified of the situation. If a brother made to move out due to defaulting on rent payments, the money he owes is still due to the brotherhood (eviction does not absolve him of his debt).
- The above rules apply to summer payments as well. However, in the case of default on summer rent payments, the brother will not be allowed to move in at the start of the school year.
- Financial Aid package details must be disclosed and discussed with the House Manager and will be included in rent contract. |

- Social Probation: No participation allowed in House funded events. Brothers on Social Probation may attend any house sponsored (but not funded) event, but to do so they must pay 150 percent of the price to attend. The extra money will either go towards the brother’s dues debt or will act as a dues credit for the following semester (this includes semi-formal, formal, and date parties).
- If a brother on Social Probation is seen at a House event he is not permitted to attend, nothing will be said at the time. However, the brother will have a mandatory meeting with the Standards Board as soon as possible after the party.
- (See fine listed under Quorum and Meetings section). |
