Dry Theta Chi: no animal house

Theta Chi changing frat house image at new home in River Falls (Wisc.)


By: Scott Wente August 07, 2002


This definitely isn't Animal House.

There's a reason you see clean carpets and intact furniture at the Theta Chi fraternity house in town.
It's because you don't see alcohol.

"It's worked out very well," says Adam Frederick, last year's chapter president, of the 'dry' policy. "As you can see, it's kept this house clean. It really helped."

Theta Chi is the only Greek organization at UW-River Falls that prohibits alcohol at its house and property. It went dry in September 2000.

The 24-member fraternity will soon begin a second year at its new location.

Theta Chi's three-floor, 16-person home at 650 Sycamore St. features two living rooms with new furniture; seven bedrooms shared by two or three people; five bathrooms; one kitchen; an office computer purchased with a grant from Theta Chi's international office; and two decks.

Frederick said Theta Chi's old home at 120 S. Third St. was getting "small." The fraternity had been there for 25 years, he said, adding that they sold the house when they moved.

The new house was completed by the chapter last summer.

More on how the Theta Chi chapter got its new house why their philosophy is compatible with the new no-alcohol policy in the August 15 River Falls Journal.

Theta Chi at UMass is going to be dry this semester. I'm glad for the company- being the only dry house is a tough sell.
