Next room NUTHIN', I'm told that some guys in McGregor (all-male) have their
girlfriends move in with them.

Not quite accurate.  *Each resident* is allowed to put 8 guys on the guest
list.  This means that they can get in alone, with ID.  Any other male
--staff, faculty, student, or guy-off-the-street--has to be escorted by a
female (not even a resident!)  Weird, eh?
