Read up on the rules that we have regarding rooming, kitchen usage, and more. Some rules may not be finalized or official yet, but will be noted as such.
Contents
Room Wars
Room Wars is how we determine housing among residents. Room Wars is typically held at the end of the spring term to choose rooms for the entire next year.
If someone transfers off-hall in the middle of the year i.e. after fall semester, a smaller Room Wars is held before spring term. This Room Wars is opt-in through email though everyone who decides to participate gives up rights to their current room. Others who do not contact the Hall Chairs wanting to participate are assumed to be keeping their current room. However, rooming assignments decided then can be changed again at at the end of the year.
Rules
- all residents except freshmen are given the option to "squat" or keep their current room
- freshmen must enter Room Wars
- residents can decide to squat up until the Friday before the Sunday meeting
- whoever decides to not squat and enter Room Wars gives up all rights to their current room
- once residents enter Room Wars they are placed in tiers and within tiers ranking is decided by dice roll
- tiers are determined in order by time on hall, time at MIT, and then for freshmen whether they lived in a single or double
- those participating in Room Wars should come prepared with several choices of rooms
- no resident can change their room choice after the next person has chosen a room
Kitchen
The kitchen is there for hall usage. All residents are free to use the cabinet/drawer space, appliances, and fridge space provided they follow some simple rules.
More info is available at KitchenComm.
General Upkeep Rules
- if you use the kitchen in any way, you must make sure you clean up after yourself and leave all space/appliances/utensils in good condition
- please be sure to wash your dishes, clean appliances, and run the garbage disposal after you cook
Storage Space Rules
- cabinets/drawers in the kitchen are divided among residents at beginning of year
- each resident can claim a space at the beginning of the term if the space is not already claimed
- all spaces are free game if they are empty/unlabeled
- be reasonable about the space you take in the kitchen, leave room for incoming freshmen and transfers
Fridge Space Rules
- you may store food in the fridge provided that your food is LABELED with your name and the date and thrown out when it is expired
- all unlabeled food is free for hall consumption
- food that was bought for a hall feed and is leftover or is specifically for hall use will be labeled "Hall" and dated
- fridges will be cleaned every two weeks
- food that is clearly expired will be thrown out regardless for the sake of hall health
Murals
EC is known for its creative and sometimes surprising murals. Floor Pi greatly benefits from murals that are painted in public space such as in the bathrooms or in the hallway.
All residents can have the chance to leave a mark on hall as long as they follow the mural policy.
Rules
- space that is open for mural painting is posted on the mural proposal page, please consider painting on blank wall before you decide to paint over any murals
- mural proposals should be emailed to hall and optionally by a posted sign on the space to be painted
- descriptions of the mural with references, location can also be posted on the wiki
- sponsor proposing the mural may only start painting 72 hours after the email was sent out
- any objections or complaints sent before or after the mural has started will be addressed by the hall chairs
- if you are making an objection, please reply to the sponsor and hall with your objection and the reason behind it
- any objections or complaints sent before or after the mural has started will be addressed by the hall chairs
Elections
Our hall is run by elected officers who are nominated and voted for by residents. Consider getting involved with hall organization and fun events in the future!
Elections are held through hall meetings and by email votes.
Chair Elections Rules
- Hall Chairs and Rush Chairs are elected at the end of spring term each year
- chair candidates must be nominated by the Friday before the Sunday meeting
- residents may nominate others or themselves
- nominations must be sent to all of hall by email
- person nominated must decline or accept through an email to hall
- all chair candidates are interviewed by hall members during the meeting
- votes are then emailed to GRT by the following Wednesday
- each resident can vote for two Hall Chair candidates and two Rush Chair candidates
- the two candidates in each category who get the most votes win and elected chairs are announced by GRT
- chair candidates must be nominated by the Friday before the Sunday meeting
Comm Elections Rules
These rules are still being determined.
- Comms are elected/chosen/people volunteer at the beginning of the fall term
- comm candidates are nominated at the election meeting
- residents may nominate others or themselves
- each person nominated must decline or accept at this point
- candidates will be asked to give a spiel on what they plan to do if elected, then briefly questioned
- candidates will be sent from room for a brief vote by hands
- win vote by plurality and winners are effectively on comms immediately
- comm candidates are nominated at the election meeting
Reimbursement
Hall money is not immediately spent on purchases that are made for hall events or by comms. Instead, hall residents must buy using their own money and then receive hall money as a reimbursement.
Guidelines
- keep all receipts from your purchases
- for purchases outside of hall coverage, use Star Market receipts for equal amount
- give the receipts to Hall Chairs or related comm
- pick up check from SAO office in student center, 5th floor
- if necessary, checks can also be mailed to you
Discretion
EC is a very special place. Likewise, Floor Pi is a special place. In return for several awesome undergrad years, we ask that you use your head and don't get your fellow hall members into unnecessary trouble.
Guidelines
- think before you open your mouth and consider who you are talking to
- never leave a "paper trail" and know how to keep a secret
- watch who you are replying to in emails, for the love of god
- just think of it this way; what happens on Floor Pi, stays on Floor Pi
