Used for the first time last year, the Commons boarding dormitory is found on a hill on the west side of the Iowa River. About 160 girls live there enjoying facilities similar to those at Currier Hall. Residents live in suites with the study area located in one room and the sleeping area in an adjoining room. Next to their lounge is the dining room where all meals are served buffet style. The laundry area has automatic washers, a dryer, and the necessary provisions for ironing. Girls in each unit and their adviser share the dormitory activities as at Currier. All freshmen who are sorority pledges live in University residence halls or in approved private homes. Temporary housing at Currier is provided for upperclassmen planning to pledge during rush week, and they can then move into the sorority house. Off-campus housing is much like dorrmitory living on a miniature scale, for the furnishings are similar and University regulations apply the same as for women in the dormitories. Each householder is responsible for the girls in her home. There is staff member in the Office of Student Affairs who has special interest in the town housing. The Independent Town Women's organization meets the first and third Monday of each month at 7:30 p.m. in the Memorial Union for programs covering every interest, from fashions to living in foreign countries. Events with the Independent Town Men's organization are regularly planned for fun and frivolity. During Orientation Week the two organizations give a mixer and a buffet supper for newcomers. Later in the year the social highlight is their dazzling Winter Formal. Pack up for SUI and focus that spotlight on your new home. It's yours for one the most memorable periods of your life.
