If someone could tell me how to post a picture, I'll post one of my house. I can't figure out how!! Also, would it be ok to post one of the family room?

The family room pic should be fine. What you do is put the following code around your image link:

Hmm...it didn't work.

This is the link for the chapter; there's a picture of the house on the (beautiful!) website.

That website is beautiful! Ours is being redone so it's in a state of disarray at the moment. I can't find a picture of our chapter house anywhere right now! It's nice though, ours is the only house on campus that was a real house before we converted it. The other houses are designed for sorority usage. Our house is also haunted by 2-3 ghosts. Makes living there fun. I believe it because I lose something everytime I stay the night there!

OMG, ours too! I had a ghost in my room when I was the president. No one believed me until my 'twin' was sitting on my bed and it shook a little. She turned around - probably to accuse me of doing it - and saw that I was nowhere near it. Then the closet door opened itself, and she ran out screaming. It was great. :p

Living with the ghost never bothered me any. It was a better roommate than some people I could name!

We had a little boy ghost living in room 5? I think it was. My sisters used to leave out bags and dishes of candy and sometimes put a ball in the middle of the room. Without fail, everyone would be downstairs and you could hear someone bouncing a ball around upstairs.
We also had a sister who died and rumour has it she comes to you in times when you need help and comforting the most.

Okay, this is the house with its old paint job. They redid it a few years ago, but this is the house I called home for four years. :)

I love the Iowa State house! The Washington Unv. House is beautiful as well!

I wish we had houses. :( But it was nice that dues were cheap!

omg that house is amazing!! I'm so jealous!!!

BaylorBean, how much were your all's dues if you didn't have a house? I don't live in the house, but mine are about 1,600 or so a semester (this includes the icky food too). I heard it's about 2,500 to live in the house.

If I remember correctly...(it was about 5 years ago now)...I think they were 200-400 depending on the semester. They might have been 175 one year.

IU's Sigma Kappa chapter closed in 1994, but their house is still there. It's occupied by Pi Kappa Phi now. It's a beautiful house, though. Here it is:

*jawdrop* mine were about $350 out of house...

I used to pay $75 a month for dues + $350 a month to live in the house.
I lived in the house for one year.

If you didn't live in the house, you paid $100 for dues unless you had already lived in the house at some point during your membership.
