There's a sorority at Bama who has a beautiful cast iron railing around the front and supposedly, several of their secrets are worked into it--how cool is that?

One of my first glimpses of Alumnae Panhellenics was our next door neighbor, who insisted on growing pansies every summer! She also kept the latest Trident on the coffee table at all times!

Now that's TOTALLY cool!!! Wonder which one, and how secret those secrets are?

As our flower is the woodland violet, a wildflower, we don't tend to "plant" them. ;)

Please don't hate me for posting this, but I think it's gorgeous!:

at fsu,the tri delta house has pansies as does the theta house, dg has the anchor.

when sae was on campus they had a lifesize lion statue that we sorority girls tried to paint-all the time.

gamma phi beta has a crescent just below the roof line-very cool!

think that is all in the way of symbolic yard decorations.

The DG house has an anchor in the yard- I have yet to see a DG house that doesn't. The Phi Sig house had these pyramids of dirt on either side of the entrace that were covered in flowers. It looked neat when they were in bloom. But then Phi Sig left campus and we (AOII) took over the house. However since we were just leasing it to start out with, we had to leave the pyramids. It made for interesting rush conversations!
The SAE house had two stone lions on either side of the front door that rival fraternities were always trying to paint.

Yeah, he is cute. He'd be even cuter if the buildings and grounds folks would run water to him.

oh yea...i forgot to mention that our DG chapter has a big anchor next to some benches in their front yard...if only we could have a giant panda statue lol!!!

We have a big pot of ivy sitting by our door. We have deferred recruitment, so I remember walking by and thinking that it was weird because ivy usually grows as a vine, but our houses are university owned, so I don't think we're allowed to do any of our own landscaping. Also, we have fake ivy garlands with bordeaux ribbons above all the windows in our chapter room.

The KKG house at William and Mary has a beautiful iris garden on the side of the house.

Every college campus we visited in the Admissions Process that had an SAE chapter with a house had lions.

You need to ask Carnation about those irises! ;)

The Gamma Phi house at USC (So Calif) has a brick wall in the shape of a crescent moon near the front doors!

FSUZeta 06-02-2007 05:59 PM

i can't believe that i forgot this....

the fraternities used to paint their crests on the front walks of all the sororities every year, most often under cover of darkness. they were very orderly and fraternal and did not paint over another organizations crest.
