Many of Baker University’s greek freshmen and transfer students are going to need some moving boxes at the end of the semester.

A total of 10 students have been approved to move into their respective greek houses at semester.

Another 26 students have been approved conditionally, meaning they must have a 3.0 grade point average this semester, be of sophomore status in credit hours, and give parental notification.

If, at semester this criteria is met, the student may move into his or her greek house.

Sophomore transfer Grant Sundbye is one of four men already approved to move into Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity.

Sundbye said he is excited about the upcoming move into the fraternity.

“I wanted to move in early so I have that much more time with my brothers and can enjoy living together with them in the house,” Sundbye said. “It’s just more opportunities to have fun.”

Jennifer Letner, fraternity and sorority life coordinator, said the large number of students eligible to move in at semester is partially due to freshmen being able to bring in college credits and because fraternity and sorority houses are not at capacity.

“Years ago this wasn’t something we had to deal with because everyone walked into college with zero credits,” Letner said.

Freshman Jackie Albin said she requested to move into Zeta Tau Alpha sorority at semester because her sorority sisters encouraged her to apply.

“I’d say it would be a lot easier to keep up with the different sorority activities going on if you lived in the house,” Albin said. “Also, I feel like living with them you’ll get to know people a lot more personally.”

While Sundbye said living in the fraternity would have many perks, including having his own room, Albin said she had some reservations.

“I’m pretty low key so it’ll be different being with some many people,” Albin said. “I also like it to be quiet when I’m studying because I get easily distracted.”

Letner said she believes moving into a chapter house is a benefit for those involved in greek life.

“It benefits the houses financially and, for nursing students who won’t be on campus as long, I feel like this gives them an advantage and it’s a big benefit to them,” Letner said. “But it’s a disadvantage to the university with the resident halls and cafeteria having that many people written off their books for next semester.”

The 26 students still waiting for final approval to move in will find out if they can move in after final grades come out.

“I’m ready to have some savage times in the fraternity,” Sundbye said.
