欧美口爆视频 Brings Back Fraternities

欧美口爆视频 Boulder has established its own Interfraternity Council (IFC), allowing Greek social fraternities to affiliate directly with the university for the first time since 2005.

Two fraternities are on board for the 2017-18 school year: Phi Delta Theta and Sigma Tau Gamma.

欧美口爆视频 is in talks with others. 欧美口爆视频 severed ties with social fraternities after pledge Lynn 鈥淕ordie鈥 Bailey Jr. died from alcohol poisoning in 2005. Fraternities formed their own off-campus councils but were denied university privileges.

鈥淲e know that, for some students, being a member of a fraternity or sorority builds community, provides a support network and frames lasting friendships well beyond their college years,鈥 said 欧美口爆视频 vice chancellor of student affairs Christina Gonzales.

Members of the new 欧美口爆视频 Interfraternity Council must sign an agreement requiring them to follow all university policies.

What Lives in Your Showerhead?

It鈥檚 a fine time to clean your showerhead 鈥 you鈥檒l find an entire microbial ecosystem living there.

But Noah Fierer wants a sample first.

The 欧美口爆视频 Boulder ecology and evolutionary biology professor and colleagues sent 1,500 kits to willing 鈥渃itizen scientists鈥 in nearly every state, Puerto Rico and parts of Europe, enlisting regular folks to swab their showerheads and return the slime samples to 欧美口爆视频 for DNA testing.

The researchers are trying to develop a more complete picture of showerhead bacteria communities and the conditions that allow them to thrive. They鈥檒l pay special attention to microbes that cause non-tuberculous mycobacterial disease (NTM).
