Weis College House was dedicated at Franklin and Marshall College in 2011 and was made possible by the vision and deep generosity of Robert and Patricia Weis and the Weis family. The House motto is socii mundi, translated as "compatriots with an interest in the world." It is a call to join together in the College House community to pursue knowledge and truth.
College Houses are much more than residence halls—they are student-run communities. Each house creates its own rules of conduct, drafts a constitution and elects its leaders. Each house has its own budget, which it can spend as it sees fit. House residents choose furnishings and decorations, hold dinners, plan special projects, start clubs—of which we have more than 125—host guest speakers and engage in intellectual debates that spill over from the classroom. Each house is a true supportive community.
