Claim To Fame:
Beets is a male hall, but First Beets was a women's floor for a few years (a unique but workable situation). It's now back to being a male floor. The building has a traditional "Yak Day" (no one is quite sure what it is), and BV is one of the two original residence halls on the Knollcrest campus.
