Praying and remember, it only takes one!

I think it's a good sign that a legacy chapter has invited her back again. It does only take one!

I hope it all works out well for her!

Nice house AOII! So, is there room for additional greek housing? I don't remember if this came up in discussion before.

There is room. Phi Mu just bought several lots in order to expand. AOII bought half a street. They're just tearing down the POS houses that are in the way.

Just curious. I know that housing can be a roadblock a lot of times. And I have heard we (Alpha Xi) are working to secure permanent housing. I was just curious if it was one of those things where it was going to take forever and we had to wait for someone else to relocate and tear down, etc. Sounds like that is not the case, which is awesome! Can't wait to see what we eventually come up with.

I heard that Alpha Xi is renting an older house temporarily. It looks like it might have been a Greek house a long time ago. It isn't anywhere near as big as the other Greek houses, but it is in the Greek neighborhood and looks larger than a residential house. I am trying to remember where I saw this - there was even a picture of the house and I think it is on 4th street - just farther down by Phi Mu. For the life of me I can't remember where I saw that.

Yeah, we are. And I heard something about the girls being able to live together on dorm floor(s), though I'm not sure of details. I Google Earthed the house cause I was curious. I think it's right by Gamma Phi. But I've heard we're pursuing permanent housing, I'm just not sure of the timeline.

I know that AOII used a dorm floor in Kerr-Drummond (which were the cool freshman dorms when I went there, but now are facing a stay of execution - getting torn down as soon as sorority expansion doesn't need them anymore.) Maybe Alpha Xi will be using that as well.

There is quite a bit of residential housing in the Greek area of campus. With all of the recent Greek construction, it seems Greek groups are having success securing those lots for demolition. (The new Farmhouse house is A.MAY.ZING. The house mother's garage has a hydraulic lift that lifts up her car and there is a basketball court underneath. Great use of space. I am friends with one of the alums who was the fundraising lead for that housing project.)

The Alpha Xi members will be housed in Patchin Hall starting in the Fall of 2015. BTW, Patchin Hall is named for a member of Alpha Xi Delta's University of Oklahoma's chapter, Zelma Patchin.

Recruitment Number
 

Does anyone have the number of women who registered for recruitment this August?

Did the number increase from last year?

On the Ok. State Pi Phi website on their twitter they welcomed over 900 PNMs.

Thinking about you today FSUZeta! Fingers crossed and lots of positive thoughts for niece-- it does only take one! :-)
