House Culture
The "Gregorians" pride themselves on being commonly known as one of the cleanest houses in the ICC. Some may say that is due to the substance free living which creates less of a party atmosphere and therefore cuts down on house maintenance.
Gregory House is also one of the technologically advanced houses in the ICC. In the 2000-2001 school year, Gregory House was the first of the ICC to purchase broadband internet and run ethernet cable to every room. There is now secure wireless internet access throughout the house, as well as a computer in the common room for the use of all members.
Gregory House is an omnivorous house that welcomes meat eaters, vegetarians, and vegans alike.
