Is it a dwelling unit? Cooking provisions sounds like will be what determines this otherwise (B) is what applies.

No provision for cooking. Nec 2014 Article 210.8(B) only thing I can think of is indoor wet location laundry area.
Are laundry area wet locstions?

Unless you are hand washing and potentially spraying water around, no.

Still need GFCI within 6 feet of any sinks though.

2017 NEC gets a little trickier, if it is considered unfinished basement - will need GFCI. If not a dwelling unit,the 125/250 volt dryer receptacle(s) could require GFCI also if any the mentioned conditions apply.

Wait... a LAUNDRY area in a fraternity house? Does anyone even use it?

New members, on select occasions. Rest of the time someone that was hired.

It's a frat house. Upper Classmen get a pledge assigned to them. The -pledges- will do the laundry.
