Each Greek life floor already has fob-access floors in Campion Hall, Hamlin Hall and Millor Hall. The doors to the floors are private and the Greek resident has to swipe his or her fob in order to get onto the floor. Only residents of that floor are allowed access to their specific fraternity or sorority floor. There are several main reasons for having this private access, including preserving the Greek sense of community and reducing vandalism. The first floor of Millor, the side facing Bernet Hall, was chosen for the experiment because fobs were already made for private access to the floor from previous years. That way, there was no additional cost to install fob equipment for a different floor.
