You might check out MIT geek Stephen Mann’s security project:
http://eyetap.org/wearcam/shootingback/
the manifesto link describes his project using private security cameras against corporate ones; and link to the video will down an avi film of him using it in a few stores.
This might be a little different in a fraternity, but the Trust issue that comes up at the end of the video is interesting–he notes that the trust is one way, not two-way…
Another question might be: is there a way to “re-design” fraternities so they would be spaces of trust that don’t ned cameras? IF so what would they look like? Or would it require a “redesign” of how we raise our teens ?
In a way, frat life is how the group recreates a “home” for themselves once they leave their parental home. I suspect the parental home would have some influence. What kind of home is it? Who creates of designs the frat “home” ? how? is it inherited? does each new group add its stamp?
