* 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.
*Recommended fine: $10, $20*
I. Smoking is not permitted in the house.
*Recommended fine: $5, $10*
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*
K. No person shall at any time occupy more than one usable parking space in any
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.
