Here's one....
My sorority house has a main house and an annex. We've had the main house for quite some time, but about 15 years ago we got the annex. An old couple used to own the house, and the KDs would go and visit them. When the old woman died, she left the clause in her will to sell the house to us. It turns out that the room that she died in is the President's bedroom! She says some times at night she can smell perfume; the kind an older lady would wear. Kinda weird. ------------------ ~Maizella~ @>--->--- |
Mine is actually kind of more sad than scary... one of our alumni sisters from my chapter supposedly committed suicide a few years ago, and she is said to haunt our house. The story really disturbed me when I first heard it, and the worst part is that the power went out right when someone was telling me about it!!

To add to the whole Ted Bundy/Chi O thing...
Turns out that one of the ZTA recent grads (at Florida State), is the daughter of the guy whose car Ted Bundy stole after he committed the murders at the Chi O house. Barbara |
Well, I live in Charleston, SC, which is one of the world's most haunted cities. EVERY house here has some story! All the greek houses are old Charleston houses, and most of the sorority houses are circa 1800, and are on the registry of historic landmarks. (The Chi O house was actually built in 1770!) Anyhow, my house has a ghost we named Tom. The story is he is an old slave who used to live in the house. One of the sisters told me that our house was a stop on the Underground Railroad, and that he died here trying to escape slavery, but I don't know if that's true. There are always doors opening and closing, alarm clocks randomly going off, faucets turning off and on. No one lives on the 3rd floor, but at night if you are on the 2nd floor, you can hear footsteps up there. We just yell, "Tom, quit it!" and he stops. We think he just likes to mess with us. Some of the sisters have said that he isn't real and ghosts are just a bunch of hooey. Well, once they say that, Tom messes with them even more. They're believers now! He's only been seen once. Back some years, the 3rd floor was the president's suite, and she woke up and saw him standing in the corner. This spring, a sister brought her friend over to the house. The second the girl walked in, she said, "Is there a ghost in this house?" Allison said, "Actually, we think there is. Why?" The friend said, "Well, he's in the formal room right now looking at us." I would've peed my pants!
Also, Berry dorm, which is a huge girls' dorm, is built on the exact spot of the old Charleston city orphanage. This thing opened in like 1730 and ran until the 1950s. A lot of the girls say they hear little kids giggling, and some have seen kids running around the halls. The year before I started here, one of the RAs died in a car accident. They say she haunts her old room. One of my sisters was an RA at the same time, and one of our public safety officers told her that while he was making his rounds over Xmas break (when the dorms are closed) the tv in the dead RA's room kept turning on by itself. Creepy...but just part of living in the old South. We actually have a ghost walking tour that takes you all over the city. We have like 1000 graveyards, and it's rumored that Annabelle Lee (of the Edgar Allen Poe poem) is buried in the Unitarian cemetery. ------------------ "Seek the noblest." Zeta Love! <3 |
Err ...
Back to Ted Bundy and Chi-O at Florida State, Is the house still up now? I mean, do they (Chi-Os) still live in the same house as back in the time when the murdering took place? |

Michigan Murders
Here's a creepy one and there's actually a book about it called The Michigan Murders. A man named John Norman Collins- who is rumored to have been a Theta Chi (they're not on our campus anymore..hmmmm) killed 7 women in the Ann Arbor- Ypsilanti area between 1967 and 1969. I'm not sure if any of them were sorority women though, but at least one was an EMU student. He was arrested in 1969 at the age of 21. I read the book and it's really scary to know exactly where the places are that bodies were found and stuff. I think he actually lived in a house down the street from our house! Scary! :eek:

The Beta Theta Pi house of WVU is rumored to be haunted. I remember that it was documented on a tv show about haunted spots in WV, but the only place I found any documentation of any kind was http://www.hauntedusa.com/states/westvirginia.htm

Morehead story
Replying to Rach_DG:
Wow...I was thinking about moving to Nunn Hall next semester...don't know if I want to now. |
:p I went to a conference at a certain Vermot school, and they claimed ghost haunted their fraternity house.... Some guy who had died of cancer or something, and would be seen late at night in the bathroom... Apparently you would you in the mirror and his face would ppear. Very spooky.

All of the sororities on our campus have houses. At the ZTA house last year, as one of the girls was getting ready for bed in her room, a man jumped out of the closet and attacked her. Fortunately she was able to get away, but he broke her jaw because of the force of his hand over her mouth. No one knows who the man was, he fled the house and went unseen.

Here's the story from the Seattle Times..
It's school as usual at UW, despite attack on campus By Ray Rivera Seattle Times staff reporter The elegant, red-brick building that houses Zeta Tau Alpha sorority sits on a leafy street that shoots almost directly onto the University of Washington campus. Yesterday, the first day of the fall quarter, the street was bustling with students, backpacks slung over their shoulders, hustling to and from class. Fraternity brothers sat on concrete steps of their houses in shorts and T-shirts, flirting with passing students and taking in the warm weather. Sorority pledges walked somewhat timidly around their new neighborhood. If Norman Rockwell were to paint a college scene today, it might look like this. It's easy to forget that these students, many of them away from home for the first time, live in one of the worst crime areas of the city. They got an alarming reminder over the weekend when an 18-year-old woman at Zeta Tau Alpha sorority house was attacked in her room early Saturday morning in an apparent rape attempt. Her assailant remains on the loose. "It's scary to think that I can't crack my window for air at night because some guy might sneak in and attack," said Megan Cieplik, 19, as she and a roommate sat outside their apartment a few doors away from the Zeta house. The victim was treated and released from the UW Medical Center. Neither police nor the hospital would disclose the extent of her injuries, except that she had facial injuries. Anyone with information can contact Seattle police Detective Robert Howard at 206-684-5495. The sorority, meanwhile, has remained mum about the incident, stating that its national advisers would issue a news release within the next few days. UW officials have taken several steps over the years to ensure student safety, including spending more than $1 million in the last decade to add more than 1,000 lampposts on campus, and 54 security and code-blue phones to give students quick access to the campus security escort service and police, said Ernest Morris, UW vice president of student affairs. Painful reminders of crime Students received tragic reminders of violence earlier this year when, first, a popular freshman was shot and killed by a pizza delivery man after he walked across the hood of the driver's car on University Way Northeast. Two months later, a second-year pathology resident, distraught at being terminated, gunned down his mentor at the UW Medical School, world-renowned pathologist Rodger Haggit, then turned the gun on himself. The second event brought new urgency to issues of workplace violence at the university. A committee headed by UW police Capt. Jon Broulette is expected to release a set of recommendations to the Campus Safety Advisory Committee within this week. While slayings are rare at and around the university, statistics compiled by the Seattle Police Department and analyzed by The Seattle Times show that total crime in the neighborhoods adjacent to the UW campus are in the upper echelon of the city's worst crime areas, behind only downtown, Belltown and the Northgate Mall area. Police track crime in the city by census tracts, areas with populations of roughly 4,000 people each. The UW campus is its own tract. Adjacent to it is Tract 5301, which includes most of Greek Row and a long stretch of University Way Northeast from Northeast 41st Street to Northeast 50th Street, the students' main shopping and dining strip, also known as "The Ave." Assaults, burglaries, thefts and auto thefts make up the brunt of the crimes. Between 1996 and this June, police reported: 823 aggravated and non-aggravated assaults, ranking the tract 12th in the city out of more than 120 tracts. 493 residential and non-residential burglaries, ranking it ninth in the city. 207 robberies, ranking it fifth. 3,697 thefts, again fifth in the city. In the total number of slayings, the area is near the bottom, and in rapes it is 25th. Overall, campus police and most students consider the area safe. "I won't go out and hang out alone at The Ave at night, but if I'm with someone, I feel safe," said Andrea Munro, a 19-year-old sophomore. Comparing student safety at the UW to other comparable schools is tricky. Beginning in 1998, federal law required campuses to include crime statistics from contiguous areas around the campus. But deciding those boundaries and finding ways to accurately track crime in them has been met with mixed success. UW police, for example, find it hard to believe that the University of Southern California, in the middle of South Central Los Angeles, has less crime than the UW. In 1998, for example, USC reported four assaults, the UW 93. Ray Rivera's phone message number is 206-464-2926. His e-mail address |
also, Ted Bundy killed a Theta named Georgeann Hawkins on June 10, 1974 at UW. eek!

Scary story(At Least For Me It Was):
This past summer I got to live in the house, while I was taking classes (the house is always closed during it, but they made an exception). I was a lil nervous at first being in such a huge house (can house 66 girls), and the only other person who was there was our house mom, but at the time she had went away for a judical conference for a week. There had always been rumors about some girl who hung herself, but we wer always told it was just to scare new members, and about the homeless man living in our basement, and a deceased founder roaming the house. So when she went away for the wek and I started hearing more noises than usual it wasnt fun. One day I decided to go up to the third floor to find something. It was about 80 degrees up there so I decided to head back down. You have to go thru this narrow and steep stairwell to get down.The door to the thrid floor is always open, so I just went thru. When I got to the third to last stair, I turned to look back for some reason and the 3rd floor door slammed shut. No wind, no nothin. Needless to say I bolted out of the stairwell and into my room, locked the door and didnt come out the entire night. Interesting story: This is a big rumor at UM about the old Sig Ep-Beta chapter. Back in like the early mid 90's the Sig Ep's had alot of troubles on campus and their Nationals put them on probation. No parties, No campus events, nothin. However, the guys decided to hold a cops and robbers party. Well a member and his girlfriend got into a fight, and him being so pissed at her, he took her into the basement and handcuffed her to a chair and left her there.Eventaully after a couple of hours, they went down and got her out. Well sometime that week the girl called thier Nationals and told them about the party and what happened. Nationals came in and revoked the charter. The members were supposedly upset and didnt like it at all. Most ppl didnt feel to sorry for them considering what happened to the girl. However, a few days later the Sig Ep house burned to the ground. No on knows who did it or how it happened, but most ppl including the authorities think its pretty interesting that the members managed to have no damage done to their property. Why? Cuz somehow all of their stuff had been moved out of the house. They only stuff that was found was every single composite, and fraternity owned things (like manuals, paddles, etc). Obviously its RUMORED that they burned down their house after being yanked, but no one can prove it even though ppl are sure. Its always funny to hear the story from ppl who were around then and from Sig Ep's in nearby chapters saying, yeah but no one can prove it ;) |
*Shuddering!*

Wayne St. House
I think that the house that Pike4Life is talking about used to be the ATO house in the early 1970's when I was at the then-West Georgia College, now State University of...
I don't get to Carrollton often but I have to go today.. I think that the house is now some type of medical counseling or kids daycare..can't remember, if I have time I'll drive by there today to see... whatever it was, I was surprised. Of course, Cton is a small town so I'm sure the current owners know the history. Not sure where the current Pike house is. When I was there it was a loong way from campus on the hwy coming from I-20..can't remember the name since I come a different direction. |
Univ of Ga. AGD House
The beautiful AGD house is in the shape of a wedding cake..or used to be until remodeling. The house was a gift from a dad to his engaged daughter. I think the story does that fiance died and she killed herself in one of the rooms. There seems to be strange voices and happenings at time..I think her name is Susie.
Sisters who live in the room tend to get engaged while living in the room.. An UGA AGD might want to provide better details.. |
Wow these stories are so interesting. I never knew that there were so many haunted places!!

KKG Headquarters
This isn't my GLO, but my younger sister's a Kappa Kappa Gamma & their HQ are suppossed to be really haunted. The building's here in Columbus, and one of my friends used to live down the street from it. I actually talked to one of the staff members there once and she told me that odd little things do happen occassionally. But also that older/alumni members always deliberately freak out the younger and newer members when they visit, too. So it's hard to say what's "real" and what's a prank sometimes. :p
I'm sure there are some Kappas on here that can tell some actual stories. I don't remember any of them. I do know that the building is close to some other older dwellings that are said to be haunted as well, though! |
Cutiepie2000- I have never been so happy to see our housemom's son the next day. He's a K Sig but has a room in our house too. He and his mom lived in the house the previous summer to get things ready and said they heard and experienced some odd things too. I really dont believe that much in ghost, but our house use to be 2 huge houses. Our chapter had one when it was colonized and then bought and annexed the other in the 1920's so who knows what happened in them before that.
Silver Turtle- I know exactly what house your talking about. We use to call it Taco Bell, cuz it looked like a huge one. It isnt the old Sig Ep house, but it was a fraternity house at one time and it looked really nice. They finally tore the thing down my soph year in '99. Its actually diagnal from our house. Another interesting thing is that all the greek houses have their letters and/or charter dates written in their front sidewalks. We have a ton of empty lots were you can tell a huge house use to be there and alot of them have letters. Just makes you wonder what happened? |
:eek: These stories give me the *shivers*.....but keep 'em coming! :D
|
Right before initiation last fall, some of the alums told us that our house is haunted by three ghosts: one in the 4-person room on the 3rd floor, one in the basement bathroom, and one in the old chapter room in the basement. The upstairs one supposedly likes to make people annoyed with each other by stealing personal objects and putting them in weird places. I don't remember what they said about the one in the bathroom, but the one in the chapter room supposedly hates men. If you leave guys alone in there (especially after midnight or one a.m.), it will try to run them off. We're not allowed guys in the house after 2 a.m., so I don't think this one has been proven yet. I'm not sure if it's really true or if the alums were pulling our legs, though! :p
I've also heard that the Kappa Kappa Gamma house on my campus is haunted. It's a really old house, and there's supposedly this room in the basement called "Ben's Room" or something like that where a guy killed himself...actually, I'll have to get a Kappa to tell me the story again 'cause I can't remember the specifics, but it's scary! |
Oh, there's something I forgot to mention--when this chapter was recolonizing, the consultant was the only person who stayed in the chapter house because it was being remodelled at the time. Anyway, it really freaked her out. She would hear strange noises all the time; not noises like a house settling, but just weird stuff like she wasn't the only one there. The door to her room would not stay locked, and even though she locked it religiously every time she left the house, it was always open when she returned. Things of hers would turn up missing, then reappear in odd places. She didn't know anything about the supposed "ghosts" in the house, or she would have gotten the hell out of Dodge right then. But guess where she lived while she was here...the 4-person room on the 3rd floor! :eek: She swears up and down that this is true, and she told us this before the alums scared us all to death with the ghost stories.

Haunted
we aren't allowed to have house where I go to school so we have suites, before the college bought the suites where the sororoties lived there was a butler who alegedly hung him self in the closet in one of the sister's room, the older sisters told us that it was haunted, but I didn't belive them, till one night I stayed up in the suite alone, I locked the door to my end from the instide , and made sure that everything was picked and looked ok, when I woke up the next morning every cabinet was open in the kitchen and silver ware was moved, I was totally freaked, every so often a sister's things get moved around and people hear noises!!! :eek:

I LOVE THIS STUFF!!!
I love this stuff so much! Here's what's happened on my campus:
At our school we're not allowed to have sorority houses, so we have hallways in the dorms that are reserved for us. A long time ago before my chapter inhabited our hallway a girl lived in the very last room on the end that now serves as our ritual room (in other words, place where we dump everything). She was pregnant but it wasn't visible so no one really knew it. I guess she was a smoker or something because she ended up having the baby in her room and it was a stillborn. Winter break had come up and she didn't know what to do with it because no one knew and she was embarrassed. When everyone got back from break a terrible smell lurked in the hallway, and it was coming from her door. They found the baby wrapped up in a plastic bag and put in the corner of her closet. They ended up taking her away to a hospital somewhere and I believe she's still there. The only way we know this is true is because one of our sisters' neighbors was the RA on the floor when it happened. The school kind of kept it hush hush. There's rumors all over campus that it happened in all the other dorms, but our hallway is the real place. We constantly find the lights on and the curtains open. We hardly ever go in there, but sometimes we'll be walking through the parking lot and see the curtains open and lights on. Also, it sort of haunts the room next to it. Two of my sisters live there now and they've had to have their TV sent to the repairman 3 times because the picture keeps spontaneously messing up. We've also had sisters' TV's turn on and off or the channel changes by itself. One sister even woke up to having her comforter being thrown off of her. We just call it "the baby" and we kind of think of it as our protector although it scares us to death too. This story is definetely true; there was a TV movie made about it called "Murder in a Small Town" or something. In the 70's this guy (I won't mention his name) was in one of the fraternities here and got into a shady deal (drugs or gambling, something like that) with a couple of his brothers and this woman who owned a furniture store in town. He wanted out and they were afraid he would blow their cover or something so they arranged to have him killed. Two girls that were unrrelated to the dealings were asked to pick him up and bring him to the guys and this woman that were waiting late at night in the middle of a farm field. The girls dropped him off and left, and the brothers and the woman buried him alive. He was missing for a LONG time and no one knew what happened to him until the girls saw something about it on the news and came forward. They told the police that they had dropped him off and left, so the police asked them if they remembered where they dropped him off. They took them to the farm and eventually found his body. His mother speaks to high schools in the area about it, but our school does a good job of covering it up because most people don't know about it. I didn't know about it until someone made a reference to it and I made them tell me. Pretty scary stuff! Especially since it's true!!!:( |
great stories! :)
here are some stories from my campus, none about my soror though, we dont have houses or dorms :( my campus is fairly new, it was built in the 1960's...the land was formerly owned by the local state mental institution! i have heard numerous stories about people hearing noises etc in the dorms. one in particular scared me...a girl was siting at her computer with her back to the door...all of the sudden she felt someone pull her ponytail out and begin stroking her hair!!! she never heard the door open :confused: another story is about the old student organization buliding. it was closed 5 or so years back. it is a gorgeous buliding that would be a wonderful center for the small greek population here. howvere, rumor has it that it was that main hospital building of the mental institute and is seriously haunted, so the school won' tear it down! my last story isn't directly relatedto my school but is about our local ghost story...there is an old builidng that stands atop a hill in the middle of some trees. from our local state park you can see the building...which is rumored to have been a women's college (now known as creepy college) a student set fire to it and all the students died in the fire except for the caretaker. i have heard that if you attempt to drive up the hill to the school, you will be chased off by a starnge old man...no one knows where he comes from as there is no car around! can bet that i don't go up there! i can;t even look at the builiding without being creped out! |
What school do you go to phisigQT? I went to Seven Hills once and saw an old scary house near it but I don't think its the same thing?
Also, I've seen that movie KristiAZD mentioned. Gotta love Lifetime:) |
I GO TO UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND BALITMORE COUNTY:p WHERE NOTHIGN EXCITING EVER EVER HAPPENS!!!
|
Eeeek... I love these stories but they freak me out.
I'm not gonna be able to sleep tonight and it's all your fault! |
Well we don't have houses or anything... but I can tell some interesting stories about the dorms on my campus. The first story is that someone committed suicide in one of the 4th floor rooms in the freshman dorm... they changed the carpet and stuff.. (not too obvious or anything) The second creepy thing is one of our alums told us that back in.....I think in the late 80's or so there was a guy who would go around the dorms licking the toes of girls while they were sleeping... they would wake up because of this person licking their toes... and he would disapear before they completely woke up or before they did. They never really found him and the only thing the campus officials could do was to tell people to wear socks to sleep... appearantly this case got so famous that Letterman even joked about it in his opening monologue talking about the "San Francisco State Toe Licker" They assumption is that it was an RA or someone that had keys and would've known the building very well. Other than that my school is pretty boring.. :D

Hey all,
This isn't a scary story...well it could be depending on how you look at it. But I thought it was a little interesting since some of you had mentioned Ted Bundy. Anyway, I was in my social psychology class, and my prof. did this little experiment. He put up 2 pictures of men, one was a body builder, and the other as a clean cut man dressed in a suit, and smiling. Out prof. asked who would we rather be friends with, or talk to, or something like that. As he was asking this a casually remarked to my friend, that the guy in the suit, was probably a homicidal manic, because you can never tell with them, they look like everyone else. Well the majority of the class said that would prefer to be friends with the man in the suit because he looked nicer. Anyway, to cut a long story short, the man in the suit turned out to be Ted Bundy. Maybe that's why he killed so many girls. Because no one suspected him, because they all thought he was charming and nice? Emily |
I heard this at our IRD, but I can't remember which Michigan school it was. Apparently they have a problem with this weird guy who sneaks into peoples homes/apts/dorms and hides in a closet. Then, when the people come home, he opens the closet door and walks out of the house. He never hurts anyone, just scares the shit out of people when he mysteriously appears.

Greek stories:
Two years ago my roomate's friend (ATO) took a gun to a local grade school parking lot and shot himself in the head. I'm sure there was a long story about it but we tried not to talk about it. My sophmore year right after I rushed Theta I got home from a Fraternity party to frantic messages left by my mom. She had seen that there was a shooting at a fraternity house on our campus on CNN. Well what had happened was a Fraternity was having a formal and after the formal almost all of them went to an off compus house rented by one of the members. Some randoms came and the renter asked them to leave. Well the guys got pissed and did a drive by killing two. (One was a girlfriend of the renter and now one of my good friend, she was standing right next to him at the time). Some others were injured. Lets just say the fraternity was punished and kicked off campus for the incident which I think is wrong because it was off campus and they had nothing to do with why the men shot at them. Ball State stories One of the Ball brothers who helped build our university had a son who went to Harvard. Well his son was flying there personal plane back to Muncie to visit and crashed. Well his father decided to build an exact replica of his dorm here on our campus. It is called Elliot Hall and its kind of spooky and looks nothing like anything else on our campus. Well in the 80's a young man went to the top of Elliot (which remids me of the library sceen in ghost busters where the books are flying across the screen) and hung himself from the high ceiling. Well if you go up there today you can still see the marks of the rope that he used. |
. Well if you go up there today you can still see the marks of the rope that he used.
How creppy is that !!!!:eek: |
not creepy or scary but I'll tell it anyway
When I was a KD pledge at the University of Maryland, the sisters told us about a ghost named Alma who was a Kappa Delta in the 1920's and for years had supposedly haunted the chapter house.
I never saw or heard anything that suggested that Alma existed, but the story was that she lived in the turret room (the house has a turret in the front) and could be seen dancing on the front lawn at night. Well, during our initiation week all the pledges slept in a big room in the "attic." As a joke, late one night, one of the sisters (Chrissy) put white make-up on her face and arms, dressed up in an old-fashioned white gown and started twirling around in circles on the front lawn. Another one of the sisters came up to the attic, woke us all up yelling "look outside on the lawn! It's Alma!" Well, one of my pledge sisters saw this and COMPLETELY freaked. She was screaming and crying hysterically. The sister who woke us up had to calm her down. She kept saying "It's just Chrissy!!!" I felt bad for my pledge sister and I suppose today that incident would be considered hazing, but personally I thought the whole thing was kind of funny. I wonder if the legend of Alma is still going on at UMD. |
YIKES
Wow, some of these stories kinda freaked me out. I was reading some of them to one of my sisters and she just left to work. I'm left here all by myself...kinda scared. I think i'm gonna go call someone he he. yikes! Scary!
always- ili |
yikes! I agree, I was reading the posts the other night and i was all alone in my house and it got kind scary...but I live for this stuff I love scary stories especially the ones that seem like they would really be true!! keep them coming!!
