“I treat them as they were my own kids, but I don't do any of the correcting. I just include them in my family. My favorite thing to do is bring in treats into the rooms where they’re studying if they’re doing all-nighters or whatever. I bring in anything to encourage then to continue with their grades”
-Cindra Brandl, Housemother at Kappa Chapter (University of Nebraska-Lincoln)
