Phi Mu Houses
 

Sorry to crash... but I just wanted to let yall know that I've just finished a website with pictures of various Phi Mu houses. You can see it at http://phimuhouses.blogspot.com.

I'm working on pictures for houses of all the different panhellenic sororities- you can see all of the ones I have completed at the main page, http://sororityhousesindex.blogspot.com. Enjoy :)

Very nice blog site! I wish my school had houses. They won't allow them. (but I guess all in all it's for the best...that way fees are WAY cheaper than other campuses )

Sometimes I think it's better that way, too. IMHO, it levels the playing field quite a bit when it comes to recruitment - PNMs tend to judge a chapter on its own merits instead of its house and chapters can concentrate on bidding the PNMs they really want without worrying about filling up a ginormous house.

Does anyone have the peter pan skit?

oh man, the phi mu houses are gorgeous!!! i REALLY wish that my college/origin of my college would allow us to have houses. :/

:confused:

Brothel Law Myth, I'm assuming.

I thought that may have been it, but that's a silly way of saying it.

yes i know hahaha, i didn't know how else to word it :P

and yes, that is the reason...

It's a myth, there is no law that prohibits sorority houses because of brothels.

there is where i go to school... im not sure where you go, but we were founded first on our campus and we have tried with no avail to get one as far as i know. so we, nor another sorority, can get one....

Brothel Law Myth

Been discussed here ad nauseaum ;)

Check Dearborn, Michigan... because a couple of our sisters did and there was, in fact, a brothel law prohibiting us to have a house.

The houses are beautiful but I'm glad I only had to pay $25 a month for dues.

Sorry the only citation of that online is you making the same claim 9 years ago. There are zoning laws that can apply, but no documented brothel laws that would ban a sorority house. Snopes provides their sources.

Besides the onus is on the one making the positive claim ;)

ETA: I'll even help, here are the Dearborn Michican ordinances. Up to date as of Sept. 2009.

That's awesome, considering I graduated in 2005 and the sisters looked into it around 2000-2001. But I guess the person on the other line was lying when they told the girls about the law?
