ADPi Houses
 

I love how DG has a link on their national site with all their houses on it. I wonder if we could possibly pursuade our nationals to do the same. All we need to do is have all the chapters with houses submit a pic of the house. I wish we actually could have a whole book with all about the houses and pics of the houses in old times. I love to see all that and read on the history of each of them. I think a lot of members would be interested. What does everyone think?

I would absolutely LOVE that!! I love looking at houses, interior design, and such, and what could be nicer than seeing the different ADPi houses? Or suites, or chapter rooms, for that matter!

Of course, I'm still testing my "Blue & White Room" theory! ;)

That would be cute, I love checking out chapter houses. With EO working on the website renovations y'all should contact headquarters and pitch your suggestion. This would be the best time if there was one to get this up there.

A new ADPi website is going to be rolled out later this summer. I don't know the total details but it is going to be much more comprehensive and have many more bells & whistles!

Here's a photo of Beta Alpha, at Indiana University:

(This photo does not do this house justice!)





ETA: updated photo of house.

I can remember seeing the Alpha Theta house, and thinking, "That is NOT an ADPi house!" - but then I realized, it was appropriate for its campus. An antebellum mansion just doesn't work at every college.

Isn't Upsilon the "Rock House"?

Yep! The rock room is at Upsilon. On the picture, if you look where the sun is shining on the house by the front door (to the left on the pic), the rock room is one floor down. Its definitely a conversation starter during recruitment, let me tell you!! :-D

What is the rock room?

When the house was built, there was a rock so large they couldn't move it with the technology at the time. So instead of trying to move it, they built around it. Now there is a giant room inside the house with a monstrous rock inside. We got in there for Halloween one year and told ghost stories. It was so cool, but we got in tons of trouble (normally members aren't allowed in there).

Rumor has it that the rock goes almost a block down the street and that Pi Phis also have a rock room around the same rock. We've never been able to prove this theory though.

It always reminds me of that Dick Van Dyke show, when either the Petries or the Helpers have a rock in the basement, and the other pays them for the water it causes (or something like that).

Delta Gamma at University of Arizona
 

Oh good- I am not to fond of the current one!

Eta Rho at Cal State Chico

That is the last of the west coast houses that I can find a picture of. There are tons more, but I have no idea where to find pics!

This is University of Central Florida (Zeta Omega Chapter), and how I picture what an Alpha Delta Pi house should look like:

The Alpha Iota house, prior to bulldozing:

I hope y'all realize that this is the house from Designing Women, and Alpha Iota could only wish their former house looked this nice!!!

Gamma Upsilon will have a new house by this August :)

Here is a pic of the house we currently live in

How great is that snow in Texas?!?! I thought that was a picture of an Ohio chapter house! hahahaha

psst... they're not Eta Tau... but I sure wish Eta Tau had a house like that!!

If I get a chance, I'll try to get down to SDSU (Eta Sigma) and take a picture of the house they're living in at the moment....Bri, we should've taken a picture while we were there in March :p

Zeta Pi (USD) I believe has a chapter room, and not a house. I don't think any of the sororities at USD have chapter houses, but I could be mistaken!

Dont know if you guys have seen this site but it has some more pictures of adpi houses. I think EO's site should have something similiar to this.

ETA: The University of Illinios Urbana house that honeychile posted is beautiful. I stayed there one night and I think it was favorite house #2 of all the ones I have seen (#1 being alpha psi's)

ETA#2: Honeychile does the fact that there was an adpi on designing women have anything to do with them using the Alpha Iota house?

I'm afraid not! Read the small print - that's NOT the old Alpha Iota house. I was just having some fun, to see if anyone noticed....!

But I still love Designing Women, and especially Jean Smart!

The UNT Sorority Row Drawing:

which looks a little different than what the houses are turning out to look like. ours is going to be the one in the middle with the balcony.

The Gamma Upsilon "House" Construction as of May:
http://orgs.unt.edu/ADP/images/photo...s/newhouse.gif

basically the sorority row houses are all one building. they're five separate houses, that fit together like puzzle pieces at the stairwells.if you're super curious you can check out the floorplan here:

we're house #3.

Epsilon Xi has a wing in Mt. View hall. Our wing holds 45 women and has a chapter room. The rooms are 4 per suite with two women in each room. The website below gives a decription of Mountain View Hall. The chapter room that is shown is the Pi Beta Phi chapter room. I wish ours was that pretty. Ours looks pretty bad.

lol!

it snows like once a year here in north texas... I used to live in south texas, and it snows almost once every 20 years there.. hehehehe

Here is a newer picture of Upsilon. We have been painting the whole house inside and out, and it is looking much better. I am particularly happy that the dingy pink trim is gone!! Its not the best pic in the world, but you can see definite improvement.

Zeta Lambda at Texas A&M

great pictures of ZL!! I have one almost identical without all the flashy boarder. :)

Yeah, I just took that one off the chapter website. :p

So, today I was driving around downtown Austin, and I found the ADPi house! So, I took a pic of it. The house is so much prettier in person. I want to go see the inside of it sometime. I loved the area... it makes me wish I could have experienced greek life at UT! It's so different from my school. :)

ETA: AHHHH!! It worked when I previewed it, I swear! I'll try and fix it. :confused:

Ok, well it's a really pretty house. Sorry. :rolleyes:

i think that is the Alpha Psi chapter at the University of Southern California..im not completely sure though so if anyone is actually from USC, feel free to comment :)

Alpha Delta Pi Houses
 

Thought it would be fun to check out all of the different chapter houses. I do not know how to post pictures but here is the link for Gamma Upsilon!
http://orgs.unt.edu/ADP/house.html

the house looks way better in real life! i wish we had a real picture other than the computer generated one

i also think it would be way cool to have a published book with all the houses of each chapter. lambda chi has one.. and it's so awesome to see all the different houses :)

Pardon the crash, but here's the ADPi house at Indiana. It was opened in 1993-1994, I think. I've never been in it but the outside is gorgeous. :)

Ok, i searched and searched for a picture of the Epsilon Epsilon house at Texas Tech. A) They don't have a chapter website, B) I could've sworn that the Delts use to have a link to pictures of all of the houses on Greek Circle, but apparently they don't have the link anymore, C) I give up on searching, D) I'm ashamed of myself that I don't have a picture of my own chapter's house. I'm sure I have a picture somewhere, but not one that is readily accessible. :mad:

eta: even if i did have a picture...the outside doesn't do justice for what the inside of the house looks like!

Well at Northern Arizona University there are not houses... instead there is the all greek res hall... but it is a neat building... ADPi has a wing on the 4th floor...

Anyways, I thought I would still share pictures of it... and once I get some others scanned I will post one that shows the stain glass hanging in the chapter room window...

The building sits on top of a hill and looks like a ski lodge when it snows...
