For KillarneyRose and any other Pitt people, they finally put the floor plan of Amos Hall online. For those who don't know, the Schenley Apartments were the apartments for the rich & famous from 1927-1950, when Pitt bought it. It became the Schenley Quadrangle, and since Building A (Amos Hall) was considered the toniest, the sororities were forced to relocate there in 1959-60. The only exception were KKG & Theta, who had just built a duplex together. Oh, at first, each sorority had either half of the floor or a whole floor, according to size but now they all have a full floor.
You can see the floor plan at here. Unfortunately, they lack the dimensions; the living room is 25'x18'. Each sorority has a different scheme, though - some have a bedroom where the Chapter Room is, and the rooms between #18 & #20 are different now. Right now, it's closed, as there's going to be a major renovation. Back on track: We once had a HUGE housing corporation fund, enough to buy a house, and we really harped on our alumnae that we wanted one. Once they gave us the figures of what a house would cost, with a housemother, meals, taxes, etc, etc, we happily accepted our suite! |
At my school, 7 of the 11 sororities do not have houses, instead we have suites. The 4 that do only do so because the building where the suite was is in the process of being renovated.
And only a handful of our fraternities have official houses. |
At my school, all of the 6 IFC fraternities have houses, which they rent from the school. However, no brothers are allowed to live in these houses - they are used only for meetings and (of course) parties. None of the NPC sororities have houses, but we do each have our own private office and a large meeting area which we all share for chapter and events. Years ago, one of the sororities did have a house, but as the amount of social GLO's on campus grew it was decided that they would no longer be allowed to rent that space from the school.
On the bright side, not having a house makes dues SO much cheaper than they would be elsewhere. |
None of the greeks at my school have houses. We do have a very very small part of our dues going to a decorating/building (something like that) fee for whenever we might get a house... but no guarantees.
However a lot of sisters choose to live with another sister, so it's all good. |
None of the GLO's have housing at my school, though I think the university is looking into it... We don't even get all housed in the same place, though I think that there is one apartment on campus that's had a Theta in it the entire time we've been chartered.
