Membership
Brown College residents can be of any year at the University (as opposed to other residence halls, where restrictions are placed based on the year of the student). Acceptance into Brown College is competitive. The application process for residence in Brown College requires completion of a formal application which includes several out-of-the-ordinary essay questions, such as "You have taken yourself hostage. Write a list of your demands." and "You are a 7-year-old child with the diction and lexicon of a 35-year-old college professor, but an emotional depth befitting your age. Have a temper tantrum." Applicants are also given a blank page and instructed to use it as they see fit.
Applications are written, read, and scored by only current Brown College residents. Afterwards, a waiting list of students is posted online on the Brown College website. Students whose names on the waiting list become highlighted green are offered a room in Brown. Once a student has been accepted and chooses to live in Brown College, that student is guaranteed residence until he or she graduates from the University.

Famous quotes containing the word membership:
“The two real political parties in America are the Winners and the Losers. The people don’t acknowledge this. They claim membership in two imaginary parties, the Republicans and the Democrats, instead.”
—Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. (b. 1922)
