...last five years. Last year, prices rose again by nearly 40%. Arizona's hot housing market helped push it, and its neighboring Mountain states - Colorado, Idaho, New Mexico, Nevada, Montana and Utah - to the top of OFHEO's list of fastest-growing regions. The Pacific region - Washington, Oregon and California - came in next with regional prices increases of 18.75%.

"Drugs were coming in, grades were falling. There were nothing but monster parties." The chapter hit bottom that fall when a single party resulted in a whopping $195,000 in fines for 26 separate counts of providing alcohol to minors. The house needed a fresh start, which...
...have rolled out similar programs, from Sigma Alpha Epsilon's True Gentleman to Beta Theta Pi's Men of Principle.
