BOG Wayne Manor originated in 1981 as the
Bunch of Guys (BOG) or BOGgers, an all-male independent living group in Building HH, Few Quad of Duke University.
BOG was commemorated as a space on the vintage Duke-themed Monopoly game, Dukeopoly. The organization began as a Commitment House, meaning only one-third of its members were selected for membership and the rest joined via a lottery. Its Malt Liquor Thursdays (M.L.T.) has been a campus-wide event since 1994. In 2007, some Duke students expressed discontent with the selective-living model because it allowed organizations like Wayne Manor to dominate a dorm's living spaces. To create a more inclusive experience,
Duke University banned the recruitment of first-year students by
Greek fraternities and non-Greek selective living groups, including Wayne Manor, in 2021. In response, all fraternities at
Duke disaffiliated from the Duke Interfraternity Council in favor of the Durham
Interfraternity Council. Soon after, Duke University announced the discontinuation of on-campus housing for SLGs after the 2023–2024 academic year. Despite disaffiliating from Duke, Wayne Manor continues to participate in mandatory pre-rush training conducted by student-led groups, Duke Sexual Harassment and Assault Prevention and Education (SHAPE) and Duke Sexual Assault Prevention Team (SAPT). == Community service ==
