Is that the plan? A "green space"? I have heard the following scenarios for the Six-Pack. None of which came from anyone "official". Basically all speculation.

1. Tear them all down and build one or two new fraternity houses there. Bigger houses and not like the box types of the current Six-Pack. The GLOs not housed there will go to the new "College-Town" area.

2. Two or three GLOs would leave and two of the current houses would expand and "absorb" the house across the yard. For example, LXA would stay and expand into the FH house. Same with the Pikes and Kappa Sig. Or visa versa. I would guess that Phi Sigma Kappa - as the middle house - would either be torn down or could build out as well.

3. No fraternity houses there but other campus buildings.

4. Parking.

USC had Sigma Sigma Sigma, Kappa Alpha Theta, and Delta Gamma within the past 5 or 6 years (I'm not sure when tri-sig closed) and they are getting Gamma Phi Beta in the fall of 2004. Just some updates to clarify a little.

Supposedly there was a race to get the proper forms turned in to get recognition from the university, between AXiD and (I think) AGD. AXiD got recognized 5 minutes before AGD because some of the AXiDs tripped the AGDs on the stairs (whoops! ) and so the AXiDs got to the office first and got their paperwork in first. It's been told to me by girls from other chapters, too, including (I think) an AGD, so I'm pretty sure it's probably the truth.

*Edited to Add* I did a little digging, and the Xi chapter of Alpha Xi Delta was established at UK in 1907, while AGD's chapter there was founded on May 14, 1908. So the five-minute thing's a little off...

Naw, you're just underestimating how effective we Alpha Xi Deltas can be at tripping people! Those Alpha Gams were laying on the ground for weeks ... months even!!

I don't know why, but this legend strikes me as hilarious as it is undoubtedly untrue. Like, can you even imagine all these young women sprinting up the stairs in their full-length skirts and button hole boots, trying to keep their hats on straight, and then sticking out a foot to trip one another??!? Please.

Yes...I think everyone I know in the Greek system was sort of shocked and felt sad about it. Especially because my own chapter could easily have been in your all's shoes.

I hadn't pictured it like that, but I am laughing now! It still wouldn't be very panhellenic, now would it... though if I could go back in the time machine I'm building, I would place a banana peel on one of the stairs so that the first AXD would tumble... he he he...

Not really building the time machine.... so don't freak out people!

I'm sad too! I don't really think you girls got the support you needed, and I mean from higher sources. I just feel like you girls had to go through so much and didn't have anyone in a higher position around campus there to lean on for support. :( I am sad....
