Housing System
Instead of having fraternities and sororities like many universities, Graceland has residential social organizations called "houses." Each student is assigned to a "house," regardless of whether they live on or off campus. Each house functions socially as a fraternity or sorority. House officers form a house council including a president, a Council of Student Activities member (also known as ASC), a Student Academic Council member (also known as SAC), a senator who represents the house in student government, an intramural sports representative, a chaplain, and finally Crescents (exclusive to women's houses and whose duties include decorating and doing arts and crafts). Members of a house council are elected to their positions by members of their house.

Famous quotes containing the words housing and/or system:
“We have been weakened in our resistance to the professional anti-Communists because we know in our hearts that our so-called democracy has excluded millions of citizens from a normal life and the normal American privileges of health, housing and education.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
“A person, seasoned with a just sense of the imperfections of natural reason, will fly to revealed truth with the greatest avidity: while the haughty Dogmatist, persuaded that he can erect a compleat system of Theology by the mere help of philosophy, disdains any further aid, and rejects this adventitious instructor.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
