Table 1, gives valuable information about dormitories and fraternity houses, care-
S PrePafed by the Deans of Women of the universities listed. The results show
that the average fraternity girl probably lives in a house that is not of fireproof con-
struction and that she pays a little more per year than does the dormitory girl. This
difference of $86 per year is however not an exorbitant amount to pay for membership
in a National Panhellenic Congress group.
Colleges and universities for the most part appreciate greatly the excellent sup-
port given by the National Panhellenic Congress groups in helping with the solution
ot the housing problem. The majority of the national officers of the National Pan-
nellenic Congress groups are now requiring that the new fraternity house be made
ot hreproof construction. The difference of $676.47, between the construction price
per girl of the dormitory ($2,481.75), and that of fraternity house ($1,805.28), probably
indicates- that most of the fraternity houses are not of fireproof construction.
,v \ a b ' e 2> gives a comparison of the valuations of fraternity property for 1930, with
the valuations for 1928 given by Rochelle Rodd Gachet for fraternity houses and fur-
nismngs m N.E. Central District. The differences may indicate that the houses con-
structed recently are of fireproof construction.

nr.v- the whole, the results of these tables indicate that the average construction
oninl™" P for , g eh e r home is $2,143.51, which compares favorably with the
colle

opinions ot experts. It also shows that the average price for room, board, and dues
n « « i £ i " m x 0 n e s , a n d n i t yf r a t e r houses. ($439.00), is well under $500, which makes it
Brnf,« \lT . \ a v e r a g e „ girl to accept membership in a National Panhellenic Congress
group without being a financial burden to her parents.
