Negotiating is an art form: you offer one thing, they offer another, you compromise, nobody’s happy. But Wharton Junior Michael Bell obviously missed some lectures of his Negotiations class, because he ended up with the worst room in his seven-person house.

For freshman and upperclassmen alike, open fraternity events provide a unique opportunity to steal valuable items, such as toothpaste, wall decorations, a handle of cheap vodka, or crackers from the kitchen cabinet.
