And I thought my school had big houses!!!! Wow!

I *love* going to A&M and seeing all the pretty houses!!!!

I remember a few summers ago I went to SMSU (Southwest Missouri State U) and they had nice houses too!

Wow, these are all amazing houses...I wish we had houses to live in...St. Louis has an old law that says that if a bunch of women are living in a house together, it is considered a "brothel" :rolleyes: Maybe one day though.....sigh...

However, all the houses in Columbia (where I'm from) at Mizzou are all large and very beautiful houses, check out the ADPi house on their website! :D

Does anyone know why all the brothel laws are still in place? I'm transferring to ASU in the fall and I was surprised to hear from someone that there weren't any sorority houses due to that. My mom is a lawyer and I was talking to her about them and she was surprised that the laws hadn't been changed as well.

That AXiD house looks like a dorm. It's massive!:eek: Only a few fraternities on my campus had houses and they were dumps. I wish my school AND the Greeks cared enough to invest in housing! I would love to donate enough money to build Panhellenic husing...*sigh*

Please see 33girl's post on this thread . Brothel laws are an urban legend. There may be zoning regulations in place, but brothel laws do not exist (at least not anymore).

Link about brothel laws from Snopes.com

I thought ASU had houses? Maybe I am confusing that with LSU but I think they have houses. Oh I see they have commons. Well they sorta look like houses from the pics. Do they recruit out of these?

Here are some of the fun A Phi houses in California...
One of my favorite Alpha Phi houses is at Cal:

My chapter house (UCLA) is also really nice but the pix are down right now.

I also like the chapter house at USC:

Thank you so much for clarifying!! No wonder my mom was so surprised/skeptical of the "laws"!!

I think.......actually it looks like preference is the only time where the recruitment is at the commons (according to the ASU greek website). Maybe the rooms or whatever are too small to accomodate large numbers of girls?

I go to Mizzou and I have to agree with you, our houses here ARE beautiful!!! I love the ADPi house, it's huge and beautiful!!! Most of the houses here are gigantic mansions. I will try to see if I can find some pics of the bigger houses!

I found a few of Mizzou's houses
 

Here are a couple of house pictures of the houses on my campus. I couldn't find one of ATO though :( which is sad, because it's HUGE and soooooo beautiful on the outside. These are really nice ones too though!!

I wanted to find a picture of the KKG house here b/c it's massive, but no such luck with that either! :(

Hey Fab, see if you can find any pics of the Kappa Sig house at Mizzou, either inside or out...i've been there, and it's awesome!

I am SOOOOOOOO jealous.... I wish my school would support greek housing... :( :( :(

Here are the nicer houses on our campus (in my opinion, of course!)

Fraternities:

TKE-

^ That's kinda a bad picture, but it's the best one I could find...though it does look more office-like than house-like, but it's cool on the inside.

Delta Sigma Phi-

^ It's an old hotel that they bought a few years ago.

Alpha Gamma Rho-

^ AGR's brand new house. - eh nevermind, forgot that geocities is a dummy and doesn't let people link to their images...just take my word for it...it's a nice house.

Sororities:
