That's an interesting point.  Wasn't Freshmen-on-Campus supposed to
resolve this problem?  It got all the vulnerable students out of the
hands of fraternities who might dump them from a moving van at the
e15 loading dock and into the hands of caring, attentive
dormitories---as personified by housemasters and GRTs.

If the HMs and GRTs don't want the burden of dealing with this, aren't
the dorms likely *less* safe and nurturing than the fraternities?
