About Our House

We are an active House with rich traditions of strong student leadership, dedication to community service and outreach, and sponsorship of social events that rock!

Founded in 2005 as “South Benjamin Franklin House,” our House changed names in 2007 when a generous gift from Drs. Larry and Rita Bonchek allowed us to build our beautiful Commons with its many programming spaces, turning our bare-bones residence hall into a true "House."

  • My name is Steele Schauer. I am a sophomore from Corpus Christi, Texas. I served on Congress for two years. I am majoring in Psychology and minoring in Italian. I love F&M and Bonchek College House, from our mascot, the hawk, to the residents on my hall. I believe the Bonchek slogan says it all: "We live together. We learn together. We laugh together."
