    Standing.
-* House Rules
-** General
-A. In a case of abuse, misuse, or destruction of house property, the charge shall
-   be replacement or effective repair of the property. A fine may also be imposed
-   if it is deemed just by the Executive Council.
-B. These rules have been adopted for the 8 Boynton St. house (“the House”), but
-   also apply to any Chapter sponsored housing, as appropriate.
-C. Recommended fines have been listed below for some of the violations.
-D. Where two or more fines are shown, said figures represent the recommended fine
-   amounts for first and subsequent violations. Also, the higher fine(s) may also
-   be imposed for a first offense if, in the Executive Council’s opinion, said
-   violation was flagrant and worthy of a more severe punishment.
-E. As a rule, items which involve the safety of the House and its members
-   typically warrant a minimum fine of $50, as do acts of physical damage and
-   unbrotherly conduct. Items which reflect issues of consideration towards
-   others typically warrant fines ranging from $5 to $20.
-F. Any Brother being fined for the same offense for the third consecutive time
-   shall be subject to an additional fine of $30 for neglecting Brotherly duties.
-G. A Brother, Postulant, or boarder shall be solely responsible for any guest(s)
-   which he/she invites to the House, and will be held accountable for any
-   behavior and/or actions caused by said guest(s) which result in damage to the
-   House, or Executive Council action.
-H. Any violations of House Rules shall be brought to the attention of the
-   Executive Council through the Member-at-Large, and said violations may be
-   punishable in whatever manner the Executive Council deems necessary.
-I. The Executive Council shall have the power to act upon any item not expressly
-   outlined in these bylaws which is deemed to be inappropriate and/or
-   unacceptable.
-J. If any brother finds that another Brother is a problem to the fraternity when
-   under the influence, he may submit a formal complaint in writing to the
-   Executive Council. If the executive council finds that said Brother is a
-   problem to the fraternity, said Brother will receive one warning for his
-   actions. Should said Brother then receive a second complaint, a period of
-   social probation will be issued by the Executive Council to said brother and
-   be approved by a majority vote of the Brotherhood. *Violations of social
-   probation will result in an unbrotherly conduct fine of $50 per incident*.
-K. Pets, of any kind, are not allowed to reside on Alpha Chi Rho property.
-** Common Areas
-A. The responsibility for maintaining clean and orderly common rooms shall rest
-   upon the House Manager.
-B. For security reasons, exterior (front, kitchen, party room, and fire escape)
-   doors should not be “propped” open unless closely monitored. Any Brother who
-   props a door open should be aware of the past and potential problems
-   associated with this action, and should always be sure to close said door as
-   soon as he leaves the House or the immediate area. An offender should first be
-   warned, and fined for subsequent violations.
-
- *Recommended fine: $10, $25, $50*
-C. Fire extinguishers shall not be discharged for any purpose other than putting
-   out a fire. Anyone who violates this rule shall, as a minimum, pay any
-   refilling charges resulting from this action. The Executive Council should
-   also consider imposing a fine for said action if it could be described as
-   avoidable or if it was performed by a repeat offender.
-
- *Recommended fine: $50*
-D. No person shall touch or manipulate any of the utilities (electricity, gas,
-   water, cable TV, network, fire safety or telephone), except in an emergency or
-   when authorized by either the House Manager or the Board of Directors’
-   Property Manager.
-
- *Recommended fine: $10, $25*
-E. Any house damage caused by a Brother (or by one of his guests), whether
-   intentional or unintentional, shall be repaired to a condition at least equal
-   to its condition prior to the incident. Said repair shall be performed within
-   48 hours of the incident, unless an extension of time is granted by the House
-   Manager. If said repair work cannot be satisfactorily performed by the Brother
-   (at his expense), said repairs shall be performed by a qualified person, and
-   the cost of said work charged to the Brother who caused the damage. In the
-   case where said damage was caused accidentally, no unbrotherly conduct fine
-   should be assessed. However, if the damage was caused by a lack of
-   self-control, or is otherwise deemed to have been “avoidable,” the violator
-   should be fined in addition to any repair costs.
-  
- *Recommended fine for intentional damage: $50, $100*
- *Recommended fine for not making repairs within 48 hours: $10 per day*
-F. In general, personal property should not be left in any common area (TV room,
-   library, basement, laundry room, party room, bathrooms, etc.) for an extended
-   period of time. Offenders of this rule should first be warned by the House
-   Manager, and fined if the problem persists. “Personal property” refers
-   primarily to items such as clothing, books, and other belongings, but also
-   refers to trash, kitchenware (cups, plate, etc.), and any other object which
-   does not permanently belong in said common area. Exemption from this rule may
-   be granted by the House Manager on a case by case basis. The House Manager
-   shall do what he sees fit with personal property left for a week after warning
-   is given to the offender.
-
- *Recommended fine: $5, $10*
-G. A Brother shall be responsible for cleaning any excessive mess caused by him
-   or one of his guests. What is to be considered an excessive mess shall be at
-   the discretion of the House Manager or Steward, whichever is appropriate.
-
- *Recommended fine: $10, $20*
-H. No Brother or guest shall sleep in any common area unless permission is
-   granted by the House Manager. Guests or "out-of-house" Brothers wishing to
-   stay in the 8 Boynton St. house overnight should sleep in a bedroom. In NO
-   case shall anyone be allowed to sleep in a common area for more than two
-   consecutive nights.

-J. The owner of any motor vehicle which is either unregistered or disabled on
-   Chapter premises, without permission of the Executive Council, after a period
-   of two (2) weeks, may be asked by the House Manager to move said vehicle. If
-   at the end of two (2) more weeks the vehicle is still on the premises, the
-   person responsible will be fined ten dollars ($10.00) per day until the
-   vehicle is removed. After the above-mentioned period of time, said vehicle may
-   be subject to tow at the owner's expense if such action is deemed necessary
-   and just by the Executive Council.
-
- *Recommended fine: $10 per day*

-   parking area owned by the Chapter, or knowingly obstruct access to the 8
-   Boynton Street driveway.
-
- *Recommended fine: $5, $10*
-** Bedrooms
-A. Brothers living in the House have the right to make any cosmetic changes to
-   their own bedroom at any time. However, any “permanent” changes (painting,
-   adding/removing “built-in” structures, cutting into walls, modifying lighting,
-   etc.) should first be discussed with and approved by the House Manager. Any
-   permanent change authorized by the House Manager is eligible for a
-   reimbursement of up to 100% of the material cost to the Brother making said
-   change, if it is deemed by the House Manager that said change makes a positive
-   improvement to the room. Failure to consult with the House Manager prior to
-   making any “permanent” changes will result in forfeit of any possible
-   reimbursement and may be subject to a fine if the change is deemed destructive
-   (see Article V Section 2 Part E).
-B. The condition of each bedroom should be noted by its new inhabitants, as well
-   as by the House Manager, at the beginning and end of each period in which a
-   Boarder is living in said room. Each room MUST be returned to its original
-   condition at the end of the period in which they are living there, except in
-   the case of positive improvements. Any changes which are not reverted by a
-   room’s inhabitants at the end of the year will be made by a qualified person,
-   and said costs will be recovered by direct billing. If the damage cannot be
-   attributed to one specific Boarder, all inhabitants of the room in question
-   will share the cost of repairs equally.
-** Duties and Behavior
-A. House Jobs, Wait-Ons, and Work Parties will be posted at least twenty-four

- *Recommended fine: $5, $10*
-E. All undergraduate Brothers are expected to help with the New Member Program

-   penalty of eviction with a three-fourths (3/4) vote. Alternatively, the
-   Executive Council may impose a monetary fine.
