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)
“Human beings are compelled to live within a lie, but they can be compelled to do so only because they are in fact capable of living in this way. Therefore not only does the system alienate humanity, but at the same time alienated humanity supports this system as its own involuntary masterplan, as a degenerate image of its own degeneration, as a record of people’s own failure as individuals.”
—Václav Havel (b. 1936)
