Interesting/scary facts of your sorority
In the early 1980's one ASA from the chapter at my school was found murdered. My ASA sisters were waiting for her to come to the house and she never came. TO this day they still don't know who killed her. We didn't even know this had happened to one of our sisters until the Greeley paper wrote about it in the paper -saying they are still searching for the killer. I'll be living in the house she used to live in. I just thought this was interesting and scary.
Does anyone know anything strange facts about their house? |
Good topic! I thought of something... but I'm not totally sure if it is true, it is just a story I was told.
One day, it might have been during an alumni gathering or weekend, someone went to an upstairs room, went to the window, pulled out their gun and took a few shots at the house across from us. Hmmm... ------------------ Brian Sejas The Miami Chapter of Delta Upsilon, Est. May 13, 1868. [This message has been edited by BrianMUDU (edited July 05, 2001).] |
While I was pledging my sorority I learned that one of my alumni sisters was also murdered. Later after I was a sister and was searching through old photo albums and memorabilia, I discovered a newspaper article about the murder. I was completely shocked to read that the murder had actually taken place in my town and that my alumni sister was a graduate of my old high school!!
A suspect was eventually found, and I guess he went on trial, however he fleed the country before he could be convicted and no one could trace him. He eventually died of natural causes, never serving a day behind bars! |
Well there was the Ted Bundy murders at the Chi O house at FSU. A gruesome story if ever I heard one.

Thanks for all your replies. Too bad there is a pervert on this board who ruins things for the rest of his. Hey Diamonds be a real man and post your name under your ICQ! OOH I'm so scared of you on this board- please! The GC's aren't going to stand for your antics.

Back on topic... I've heard that one of Ted Bundy's victims was a Pi Phi at Alabama. Supposedly she was killed while she was home over summer or something. May be just an urban legend though. |
When I was a senior in HS a school friend of mine killed himself. He was a freshman in college & we weren't close outside of school so we hadn't talked in over a year. I read in the death notice that he was a member of Sigma Something Something, but that's all I knew about his college life. There were rumors flying about what happened, where he killed himeself and stuff & I never found out the details. Two years later I rushed and joined XO. I happened to be looking through my senior book, re-read the death notice and realized that his fraternity is Chi O's next-door-neighbor. I've also gotten some of the details about what happened when he killed himself (at the fraternity house) since, but it makes me so angry and sad to think we would be neighbors now. Only four other people from our large, local HS are greek there, so it would be an awsome bond to share.

Well, this isnt about my org, but we had two suicides at my school last year. One was in our science building in the fall, the kid wasnt even a student... His family thought he was... long story. And then there was one in the dorm near my old one. A guy killed himself on the second floor of Nair Hall...
Oh and then this year, the famous Clarion National City Bank robber who was caught from being seen on MTV. It was nice having some FBI and Police around my sisters dorm when I was taking her home cos she had too much to drink... underage... fun times! |
Uhmm ... how about us and DU had a fight? Ha!
The story began maybe in early 1990s, when we built a water balloon catapult, and we had fun from our veranda ... and we shot water balloon randomly, and one just hit the DU house (3 houses down the road). Anyway, they got mad and built a similar catapult and started shooting vegetables from their veranda! Yeah, carrotts and tomatoes and corns flying all around us. One potato hit our window, and shattered that window .. anyway, it got nasty and well, of course now we're all right, but it just a fun story to hear from alumni. Hmm .. we never have anything really BAD like that (which is a good thing), but one of our brother passed away last year. He was drown in his hometown, and that was my first experience of death ... really hit us hard, and still I miss him so much http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif Love you brother Wedge. |
Well, our house used to be a fraternity house and it is rumored that while it was, one of the brothers jumped out of the 3rd floor window and killed himself...In that particular room his name is painted above the door and rumor has it that the room was nailed shut until we moved in. I don't know if all that is true, but I definatly think the house is haunted...but our house is over 100 years old, so who knows what other terrible things could have happened in there!

Great post. Good subject idea.
Nothing realy scary happens on our campus. I'm sure it does, but the campus also does a great job of hiding things. We recently last fall found out about some girls that were attacked near our library. We're a commuter campus, located next door to Henry Ford Comm College, and a girl was raped there. Police hadnt caught him, so he was still roaming our campuses. He came into a room and sat down right next to my friend (at HFCC) and he started talking to her, sayin sexual things. Then he left and the class stopped and called security. Needless to say, after that we were all a little more careful about walking alone. Scary? Well, at one of the fraternity parties that was held at a hall, a random from off the street had a gun. I dont know the whole story, but I know one of my friends was outside near the guy when he shot the gun in the air. Gunmen seem to find us. We were at the fraternity house (only one org has a house) after one of the hall parties. The boys were tryig to kick out some random, and he pulled out a gun. A friend from another org had the guts to stand up to him, and the guys made us girls go in the house and upstairs. That was prolly one of hte scariest times of my life |
There is a story that circulates amongst our alumni that sometimes surfaces to the newer guys in our house.. back in 1996 when our chapter (Pi Kappa Phi) was being colonized, one of the founding fathers was found dead in an upstairs room of the newly acquired house; turns out that he hung himself for reasons unknown. Scary thing is that I lived in that room for almost two years and didn't find out about it until a year after I moved in...

In my chapter, just a few years before I joined, they used to shoot each other with wax bullets. They would make wax bullets and load them in cartriges with nothing but the primer for propulsion, so it wasn't much worse than getting hit with a paintball, but still it would suck!
Also, a year and a half before i got to school, one of the brothers got really sick one night and died. It turned out that he had a rare form of Leukemia. He was a sophomore and had just joined and moved in the house in the fall, and had just initiated a couple months before. ------------------ Steve Corbin Lambda Chi Alpha Theta Kappa Chapter Rose-Hulman Inst. of Tech. |
Longwood College pretty much used to just be this one building. That building has had a history of fires, but it managed never to be completely destroyed until April of this year. In one of the previous fires, a Tri Sigma supposedly carried a grandfather clock out of the building (from the 3rd floor) on her back. That clock still stands in our chapter room today, stuck on the time that the fire occurred. I'm not sure whether this story is true our not, since it takes up to 5 men to carry the clock. Mysteriously, if anyone ever moves the hands on the clock, they always go back to where they were.
Here's something pretty creepy that has nothing to do with my sorority. My freshman year, 2 days before classes started, a guy hung himself. What a way to start college... getting a mass e-mail telling you that fellow student has committed suicide... |
At my school the Pi Phi's moved into the old Delta Phi house. Before they moved in a maintenance man was going thru the house and took done this fake wall blocking off a room, inside he found a casket with a skelton inside.
Supposedly the skelton was from Albany Med School and had been there for years. Anyways the University had to pay to bury it and were pretty po'd at Delta Phi. |
This is a scary story. Actually, a ghost story! I love telling these stories!
At my school, my sorority house, the fraternity house next to us, and the fraternity house diagonal from the fraternity house next to us (I know, confusing) were owned by a "big to do" family in the late 1800s. There was a house across the street from us too but that burnt down a while ago. There were old Victorian houses, like our houses, all around them. One still stands today, across the railroad tracks from our house. It once housed another fraternity, who lost the house b/c of lack of brothers. Anyway, my sorority sister's brother lived in that fraternity house at one point and had the room on the 3rd floor. One night, he was reading a book on his bed when he noticed the numbers on his alarm clock were going nuts. He reached to fix it and something pulled him back and held him against the wall. Whatever it was, it was pushing on his sternum so he couldn't really breathe all that well, as you might imagine. It held him there for like 30 seconds and then let him go. He was so scared, he ran out of the house and didn't return until the next day. I don't blame him. I wouldn't have gone back at all! My sorority sister can tell some stories about that house that her brother told her that are kind of freaky. That's the only story I remember that she told us though. Believe it or not!

Gosh, I'm glad I don't have any of these stories...SCARY, but fun topic!

This isn't about my GLO, but the Sigma Sigma Sigma house on my campus is haunted. A boy named Henry died of lukemia in the tower room when he was a child and so he goes though the house turning the lights/tv/etc. on and off! One of the Sigmas told me that if they yell "Henry, stop it!", he will leave. Kinda weird!

In my sorority house, some girls claimed to have seen ghosts. The family's name was Ficklen and one sister said that she walked into one of the back rooms from the kitchen to get to her room and saw Mrs. Ficklen, or what looked like a mother figure, in the corner, folding laundry. Another girl claims she was sleeping one night in her 3rd floor room and says she woke up in the middle of the night and saw a figure over her bed looking at her but she went back to sleep. She thought it was a dream when she woke up but she wasn't really sure if it was real or not. I lived in the house and I never saw anything but who knows! I don't believe it until I see it with my own eyes!

I graduated from Univ. of West Georgia in '96. I've heard about the Wayne St. house...I think they changed the morgue part of the house (where all the tile flooring and body refridgerators were) into the kitchen. I've also heard that there has been a lot of "supernatural" experiences by both Brothers and guests there.
I think the "most haunted" Pike House is at the Univ. of Cincinnati...their house is registered as a historical landmark it's so old. I understand that it's been the home to organized crime bosses, city mayors, and all sorts of other amazing people. There are supposed to be all kinds of secret passages and hidden rooms throughout the house...in addition to all the ghosts that inhabit the place! |

Ted Bundy murdered 2 Chi Omega women at Florida State University and brutally beat a 3rd, but thankfully, she survived. The books covered all of his crimes, but the Chi Omega murders in particular really gave me the chills. So creepy.... He did indeed target college aged women, and many were similar in appearance, straight shoulder length hair, above-average attractiveness, etc....

ar my school (iup), there was a HUGE controversy in the 80's about this boy named Jack Davis who was found dead in the stairwell of our science building. no one knows how he got there... there are a lot of stories that circulate about him.. that his death was a result of a bad drug deal; that he died of alcohol poisoning and was thrown there... the weird thing is, there was a search for him ALL OVER CAMPUS and his body wasn't found until after the search was declared.. which means he was already dead and someone threw him in the stairwell to avoid conviction! this story was even on unsolved mysteries. there is more evidence and facts surrounding his death. some say he was drunk and fell into the stairwell (which is outside, and drowned b/c it rained for the next 3 days... but the story goes that alcohol wasn't even found in his system. my friend did a report on it, i'll ask her and post the REAL facts.
also, our ATO house used to be a funeral home. the ATOs have told me all kinds of stories about doors slamming, footsteps up the staris, glowing green lights... CREEPY! ------------------ it's hard being a princess...AGD |
The title of this thread is also
interesting facts of your sorority so I wanted to ask: I noticed that Kappa Kappa Gamma and Alpha Xi Delta both have dark and light blue as their colors (with AZD also having gold for their colors) and someone once told me that initially, when AZD was first starting out, the women (of what became AZD) were then part of a local who wanted to affiliate with KKG. However, through circumstances, AZD kind of took on a life of its own and ended up becoming its own National group, rather than becoming a KKG colony and chapter. Are there some KKGs or AZD's who can verify this? Just wondering. If so, I think it is quite interesting.... |
Yes and the Chi O Ted Bundy murders were IN the Chi O house, if I remember correctly.

Wow...this is a really cool post (especially hearing stuff from houses at ECU). Anyhow, I've got a few stories about our house. (I love old houses and their histories so I've got a few stories about ours)
Our house has a pretty strange history. It was owned by a Dr. Skinner in the 20's and apparently he dealt with schizophrenic (sp?) children. The scary thing is that he kept them in cages in the basement of the house. I know nationals had most of the cages torn down a few year ago because of flood damage but there's still one down there that holds the hot water heater. It's really creepy because it's made of scrap wood and chicken wire. The door is an old door that I'm assuming used to belong to something else. Can you imagine having to live in that? I've also heard that before they tore out the other cages there were still some old toys down there. Also, when Dr. Skinner died he asked that all of his books be left in the house. So we have shelves of old medical journals and other old books. There's a book of poetry in the bookshelf where he had written in the margins that a particular poem reminds him of his dead son. I don't remember the exact date but he says it was ten years since the boy had died and he would have been 21. Anyhow, according to legend, a few years ago on the anniversary of the boy's death, one of the sisters was sober driving and she was sitting in the house waiting for the phone to ring (the house is really scary when you're there alone at night). So she hears a knock on the door and when she goes to answer it a young boy is standing there and he asks her if Joanna is there. At this time there was a sister named Joanna but she wasn't home so the sister told the boy that Joanna wasn't home. He insisted that she go look for Joanna and when she did he disappeared. The weird thing is that Dr. Skinner's wife was named Joanna. (I haven't looked into whether her name really was Joanna but this is the story that gets told). There was also supposedly a nurse who hung herself in the attic and even within the past year girls who sleep in the "cubbie" part of the attic have been woken up to the sound of someone whispering in their ear. I know the AOII house here has a really neat history and a lot of (very active) ghosts but one of them would have to tell you their stories because I don't know them well enough. |
OK, I know this said scary "SORORITY" stories, but I have a fraternity ghost story to share.
When I lived in the Pike House in college, there was a story about a former owner...it seems that waaaaay back when, it was once owned by a professor of theology. He did not believe in doctors, modern medicine and such. One winter, his baby son got very sick and died because he would not take it to the doctor. Both parents, the professor and his wife, were VERY distraught from the child's death and never really got over it. The legend goes that this little boy and parents all haunted the house. We had an old intercom system in the house that was broken. Every so often, it would crackle to life and it would sound like a baby crying was coming over the speakers...it was VERY eerie. Some guys also said they would see the ghost of the mother walking down the hall towards the "baby's room" ...which turned out to be MY room. One guy even said he woke up one time because someone was pulling at his fee, and when he looked down he saw a kid pulling his toes!!! WOOOOOOOOOO!!!! WHo you gonna call!! |
Going back to what AmyCat said....I remember seeing a documentary or A&E show about Ted Bundy and they showed snippets of news footage with the newsanchors calling it the "Chi Omega Murders" because several of the girls were Chi-Os. I think he mainly targeted college aged women, many of whom were sorority girls, as his "ideal victim"...what a sicko.

Hey Pike....what school do u go to?
I dont go there, but the Pike house at Wayne State U. used to be a funeral home. So in the basement are all these caskets and stuff. I've never been there but a guy from my high school is a Pike and lives in the house. He's told me a couple ghost stories. Kinda freaky. |
I remembered something small about our house...
Its pretty normal, but I call my new room, APT F, the haunted room. My one sister Piper lived in it alone this past spring. She had some candles on her dresser across the room, she went to light the blue one, and couldnt becuase the wick was buried in the wax, so she lit the red one. She fell asleep, and no one came into her room, and when she woke up she was scared to death because the blue candle was burning, and the red was out, like someone had blown it out. Another story is (dood, its like 3:30 and my back is to my door, Im so freaked out... lol) well Piper slept with her door closed, and one night, she woke up and her door was open, and so she thought, okay someone came past and opened it to see if she was home, but she usually sleeps with it locked. So she got up and started to walk over to shut it and it slammed shut. Not like the draft in the house did it... but hard like someone was mad... (she didnt have any windows open either!) This makes me feel really safe in great APT F! <3 Ali ------------------ "...A dynamic sisterhood of powerful and passionate women maintaining uncompromising principles, igniting positive change, and embracing individuality!"

Okay, I'm pretty freaked out myself. I'm working right now and the place I work is in a Museum, a very old house! I've heard things in this house before so reading these stories is making me hear things right now! I know, just my imagination!
Anyway, I didn't know that about the Tri Sigma house TriSigECU. That's really interesting. I had no clue that there was a story about your house. I think every house on our campus has a history of some sort. I love hearing about them! I know AOPi has a story on their house and I think AZD does too. |

To further creep everyone out, a 4th Chi Omega actually was coming home from a date in the early hours of the morning (like 1 am or 2 am) and actually saw a man (i.e. Ted Bundy) in black fleeing the Chi Omega house. So creepy. Thank goodness that she wasn't 5 minutes earlier or she might have crossed paths with him in the hallway or something, and who knows what terrible thing he might have done to her? Yikes!

At Morehead, we don't have sorority houses, but we do have a residence hall that is primarily for the sororities with each floor belonging to a specific sorority. Anyway, it is called Nunn hall, and it is said to be haunted. The way the story goes is that a long time ago, like in the seventies or something like that, a girl commited suicide by jumping off the ninth floor (gamma phi beta floor) of the hall. Nunn hall is made kind of oddly, with it being more like apartments than the other halls. When you walk out of your room you walk outside and there are big open windows without glass or anything. After the girl commited suicide however, they added bars to make it a little more complicated to fall to your death. We have kind of like a porch type thing on the first floor and she landed on the roof of it. If you are on the second floor of the hall you can planely see the indentations of where her body landed. It is REALLY creepy. Anyway, she supposedly roams the halls of Nunn. I have never seen her myself but some of the other girls claim to have seen her run past their widows or their doors mysterously opening and closing.
Also, this past year a girl commited suicide by hanging herself in her door room in Butler hall. It was pretty creepy going up there (one of my sorority sisters was her RA) because there was police tape on her door for the longest time while investigators tried to figure out her motives for suicide. I definately wouldn't want to be a new freshman coming in this next year who got stuck in that room!!!! |
My friend has a book on haunted places and it says that the national HQ of Sigma Pi is haunted!!!

We've had some pretty freaky ghosts hang out on my campus (USD). The big story is about us, Alpha Xi Delta, and Kappa Alpha Theta. A long time ago, our house burned down and we had to move next door and live with the Theta's. About this time, an A-Xi was dating a guy from Delta Tau Delta. He was planning on going to medical school in the fall and had just gotten his letter back. (supposedly a rejection) He was so overwhelmed, he shot himself in the Delt house, and his girlfriend after hearing the news hung herself in the basement of Kappa Alpha Theta. If the story would end there, it'd be fine. However, since then the ghost of this girl haunts the Theta house and plays with their members hair at night and such. The really creepy thing about all of this is that Theta's have described her as being dressed in various clothing that we wear for our secret ceremonies. Creepy huh! Her boyfriend haunts the Delt house, by playing piano late at night.
Oh, we have another big one. In the early 1990's an A-Xi was dating a Phi Delt. One night after the bar, him, his girlfriend and his two best friends went back to the Phi Delt House and decided to have an afterbar in his room. Well, apparently her boyfriend suggested that they play Russian Roulette with an unloaded gun. When it came to him, he put it in his mouth, and pulled the trigger only to find out that it was loaded. He died on the spot. Since then the Phi Delt's have named a room in honor of him, and supposedly his ghost haunts the room where he died. |

Sorry that my house doesn't have any cool ghost stories, but here is something that I always found interesting about our property. For those of you who don't know, Pi Phi's symbol is the arrow, and our pledge pin is the arrow head. Well our property is shaped like our pledge pin!
Actually I wouldn't be surprised if our house was haunted. I know it's old enough! Maybe I'll find out next year when I move in. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif [This message has been edited by erniegurl00 (edited July 11, 2001).] |
At Clarion, there was a room on the 7th floor of Wilk, where I lived and a girl who became my sister lived. Her room was 740 (now where the bathroom was) and her room was the only one with different tile. We never thought anything of it, but then I heard a story of a girl who burned to death in a room in Wilk, and it had to be retiled since there were burn marks on the floor... I didnt tell her til this year!!!!!
