  • Delta Sigma Theta relocated to a house on New Row.

I think...not entirely sure, but I think Gamma Phi has always been in the old Alpha Xi Delta house. After DG sold the house to the university it was used as an honors dorm. Delta Sigma Theta rented it for a while. Gamma Phi might have lived there temporarily while their house was being renovated. KK, do you know what Sigma Delta Tau will be doing with their house once the Betas move out?

I know we definitely weren't always in the old AXiD house. We were in one of the houses by the stadium from when we chartered in '88 til whenever they bulldozed those houses ('96?). I've seen pictures, it looked sort of big and square. I think it was across from either Kappa or Phi Mu.

The SDT house, once Beta is out ... I've heard several things. If they could get their numbers up enough to run it, certainly they would want to move back in. But I've also heard that Phi Mu wants to get their hands on it because their house is entirely too small to hold chapter ... they've been having to hold chapter meetings in a church gym or something like that. So we'll see!

The Lambda Chi's are actually moving into the SDT house because their house is undergoing renevations all next year

I was surprised at how many of the pictures had women holding cigarettes!

For those of you who enjoy this kind of thing (I have a minor obsession with old yearbooks), the University of Wisconsin has almost every yearbook prior to 1977 online:

The 1940s are my favorite, although the 1960s/1970s include some creative Greek photo shoots.

Oh fun. :rolleyes:

Yeah, it seems like all the fraternities are renovating or rebuilding their houses ever since the University started offering super low interest (or is it zero interest?) loans for Greek orgs to fix up their houses.

Go to the Wisconsin 1934 yearbook, and read the write ups on the frats. Hilarious.

This Yearbook has a section called "The Fraternal", and has this picture:
