Simple precautions like these can lessen the chance of burglar ies. Mason said. At least one University frater nity president whose house was one of several burglarized two years ago is worried about win ter vacation break-ins "I believe break-ins are a con i ern for every fraternity or soror ity on campus — especially after what happened two Christ masers ago," Jim Shaw said.
