Did you have a chapter house?
 

Hey all you AOIIs: I LOVE college campuses. In fact, my brother and I have a life-long competition of who has been to more campuses. One of my favorite parts is the greek housing. What chapters have you been to, and did they have houses? I wish AOII would publish pictures of all of the houses - maybe in To Dragma. Here is what I know:

University of Illinois - house (historic landmark!)
University of Nebraska - house
University of Maine - house
University of Tennessee - dorm floor
Vanderbilt - lodge
Northeastern (Oklahoma) State University - dorm floor/suite
University of Oklahoma - house
Iowa State University - house
University of California - Berkeley - house
University of Georgia - house (totally gorgeous)
Auburn University - dorm
University of South Alabama - house
University of Florida- house
Indiana University - house
DePauw University - house (I think this chapter is closed)
University of Colorado - house
Ole Miss - house
University of Minnesota - house
Washington State University - house
Cal Poly - house
Michigan State - house
Cornell - house
University of Kentucky - house
University of Maryland - house

Vanderbilt's "lodge" is really a house. It has a limited number of women living there, however, because of university rules and size.

Middle Tennessee State University: currently-suite..things may change though!

Pictures of Nu Beta Chapter House of AOII (OLE MISS)

The house sleeps 44 members and one house mother. The house has an office, sitting room, TV room, living room, chapter room/dining room, and patio. It also has a laundry room and a guest room. The house was built in 1958 by Grantham Architechts in Oxford, MS. It has had many facelifts and the most recent one was in the 1980s when the former facid (very modern/boxy looking) was updated with the one you see presently of a more "southern sorority" style house.

Alpha Lambda (Georgia Southern University) has a chapter house that sleeps 15 women. The house was built in 1997-1998, and is gorgeous, unfortunately there do not seem to be any pictures of it on their website. I will see if I can find some.

Nope, we didn't have a chapter house at Pi Alpha. They are getting a new suite in a year or so in the new greek housing complex!

Chi Epsilon does have a house (I'm their CB President). It sleeps between 18-21 women in double or triple rooms. The House director has her own suite with private bath as well. This is an older picture, most of the landscaping is gone or changed since then:

I want Chi Epsilon's house :)

By the way, here is my house...

When I was there it housed 66 women plus a house mom. Almost all of the rooms were doubles with a few triples. We did not have "warm dorm" or "cold dorm" sleeping rooms. Everyone slept in her own room. We used trundle beds to save space.

Every year we hosted an event called "Porch Fling" in May on our front porch. It was in the afternoon and everyone wore letters and invited her friends - Greek or non-Greek - male or female - to hang out on our front porch and celebrate the warm weather and the end of school. It was very low key but one of my favorite events!

Well, I want Nu Beta's house, so we can trade ;)

Iota's house is gorgeous!!!

ETA--I've been to both Kappa Omega houses (their original one and the big one on Rose Street), and saw Tau Omega's floor/suite when we helped colonize them in the mid 1980s (no houses at Transy then, don't know for sure about now).

Thanks for posting the pictures! I love looking at Greek houses. They are so gorgeous!

This is the chapter house at the University of Oklahoma (Xi) which is not too far from where I live, and where both of my little sisters were Kappas (it's ok, OU didn't have AOII back then!!)

University of Georgia..gorgeous

This is the "house" at Rhodes in Memphis. My friend initiated there as an alumna! It is more like a lodge - a very nice place to have chapter meetings and rush, but I don't believe any members live there. Maybe officers do? I don't remember.

This is the house/lodge at Vanderbilt. I got it from their website...

Just in case--please avoid remote linking any pictures on this thread. I have webspace available if you need to upload and link pictures that way, so let me know if I can help!

Thanks and Roses to everyone. I love seeing all the gorgeous houses. I have to admit I'm darned jealous of all of you who got to live in your chapter housing.

Did you know that the Nu Omicron (Vandy) house has a FOUNTAIN with a SQUARE POOL inside the house? It is almost as big as my dining room!

Seriously? Wow.

Please tell me that someone has a picture that they'd like to share.

I actually have a pix, but I do not have a way to store it...
Ideas?
Silver

email them to me and I'll put them up for you ;)

WU (Omega Upsilon) , Ohio State AOII House

I think that's really Ohio University :)

U of Illinois Iota House
 

Here's a photo of the U of I Iota House-- what great memories!

http://webspace.ncsa.uiuc.edu/aop/index.html

WOW, what a gorgeous website!

Kappa Tau has a house in the Greek Village that sleeps 22. It's actually more like a townhouse since they are all connected. You can see some pictures on their web site. http://www.selu.edu/orgs/aop/

Delta Beta has a lodge with no sleeping quarters as does Lambda Tau. Kappa Chi has a house but I think that it sleeps only 4 or 5.

Hey ya'll, Nu Beta is getting our house painted this summer, you know the trim and woodwork! Woohooo!

visit our website:
www.olemiss.edu/orgs/alphaomicronpi

Yep - that is Ohio University in Athens, OH. Visited there a few times!

Hey Irishpipes - I'm an Iota too...when were you at U of Illinois?
ILL!

INI!

Hello AOIIGAL! I was there when you were, if your initials were B.C. before you got married!!!

You rushed a friend of mine in my rush group, and I will never forget you because of the impression you made on her! She thought you were the coolest thing since sliced bread.

I will p.m. you!





Edited because I left your "ILL" hangin'

Gosh I hop this works. Here is the house at Cal State Long Beach. It's actually a duplex.

We had a house at Ohio Northern (Kappa Pi chapter, now closed :( )

It only slept 8, but I lived there for two years--one of those was with Snowlady!
I don't have a pic though, maybe Snowlady does.

Nope I don't have a digital pic. And no scanner :(

Saturday I will visit the house for the last time. Not sure after Saturday I'll ever be able to drive down Highland again.

Hi y'all! I'm on vacation here in Clearwater Beach, Florida, and as part of my "see every college campus I can" mission in life, I went to the University of South Florida in Tampa yesterday. I took a picture of the AOII house, with my 6 year old son standing in front of it. I'll post it when I get home. Ta Ta!!

my scanner isn't hooked up anymore...it's older than dirt and takes way too much effort to get up and running.
Know what you mean about not being able to drive past though, it is just so sad...
I so loved everything about that house, and have so many wonderful memories there. It always just felt like home to me.

pardon me
 

Here's the Iota Sigma chapter at Iowa State:

http://kdotp.tripod.com/phc/aopi.jpg

It's a newer house -- less than 40 years old -- and really nice inside. I think it holds 50? women. A good friend of mine was an AOII and loved living in it.

Don't mean to crash your board, but here is a photo of the lovely house at Georgia Southern!

Indiana University
 

You can see a picture of the Beta Phi Chapter house here!
http://www.indiana.edu/~aoii
It can hold up to 105 girls, has a large dining room, an informal and formal lounge, one lounge on the second and third floor, and two small libraries. We also have laundry capabilities, and a workout room. I LOVE it here!

This week I'll scan the pictures of the Nu Beta Chapter House with the new paint and stuff. We've since gotten new landscaping so I'll have to take another picture of that!

Tau Gamma - housing
 

The Tau Gamma Chapter at Eastern Washington University finally has a house. After 16 years on campus we have an official place to call home. At the moment seven girls can live in but over the next few years the hope is to have a total of 16 girls living in the house (this is a number I have heard thrown around - not sure if it is correct). We are so excited we moved in just about a week ago, and with the help of some fraternity guys and the current members in the house we just put in the front lawn. It was so much fun - just another memory I will have that if not for AOII I would never have experienced.

That is great news about Tau Gamma!

Congratulations, AmeeLynn and Tau Gamma! Post pictures when you can!!
