Both ladies chose to live a comfort- able substance free life while at the same time having Sig Eps as floormates. Both Beth and Melanie have created their own "walls of hunk," giving the female eyes a treat. Blue rope lights frame the door giving it an exotic look. An adorable, hand-drawn, basket of kittens hangs on the wall where previously a questionable Playgirl display resided. The "Beth fish," is a colorful cardboard fish that hangs from the ceiling giving the room an ocean-like feel. When it came to the large appliances in the room, they put their creativity to the test. ln- between both dressers resides a refrigerator, microwave, and television. This srackable option of organizing the room leaves a spacious common area where seating can be an option for viewing movies. The refrigerator contains mostly water and soy milk partly due to Beth's status of veg- etarian. Another item in their fridge, that every young lady should have, is eye mask to use for puffy eyes.
