The roommates devised a schedule for keeping the house clean. The chores are split up among the roommates, and if one misses his duty, he must contribute $5 to a house fund, which pays for everyday supplies.
The guys have slightly more traditional competitions. They recently went to Buffalo Wild Wings to eat 200 wings as a house.
"It's a team building exercise," Day said. The idea originated during winter break when seven of the guys tried it and then wanted to try it as a whole house. They successfully managed to finish 200 buffalo wings, but they wanted to spice up the competition. "Next time it's going to be unlimited, whoever can eat the most wins." Beattie said.
Besides competing against each other in sleeping and eating competitions, the guys get to do a lot of activities. An upcoming activity for the Vermont House is "Duck Week."
"We're going to buy some ducks and keep them in a pool in our backyard." Knott said.
They also have slip-n-slide parties and date night, where they go out on dates with some of their friends and girlfriends. The guys try to go to the KU basketball games as a house. They also compete in a soccer league. "We play once a semester for two months. It's for fun, but we do get competitive," Knott said.

Although the guys seem like all play and no work, they do get things done.
"We have a house meeting every Sunday night,
"Fell said. "We go over bills, chores for the week and events that we want to put together as a house."
Aaron Stallard, Dallas sophomore, described the Vermont House like this: "It's got the brotherhood of a fraternity but without the hazing and other frat stuff that I don't really care for. Also, it's living with nine of your best friends. What else could you ask for?"

The roommates each share a room, leaving one room empty in the house. The extra room has been designated for studying so the activity in the house doesn't interfere with the academic lives of the roommates.
