Once the new house is complete, Texas Alpha will have the premiere facility on campus and will charge a premium rent in order to live there. o Full-Time Live In Advisor – the Texas Alpha House Board will hire and employ a live-in, full- time house mother/ graduate assistant/ house dad to help manage the property as well as provide guidance and advise to the undergraduate chapter. o Check-in / Check-out Procedure – performed at the beginning and end of each academic year to ensure the undergraduate men leave their rooms in the same condition as they found them. o Damage Deposits – collected from each undergraduate before he is permitted to move into the Chapter house. Refunds of security deposits will not be made until damage and professional cleaning costs have been deducted at the end of the spring quarter.
