Watch the Eta Kappa DG house go up!
 

Maybe because it's my chapter, but I'm addicted to watching the live construction cams on the new Eta Kappa house. I can't wait to see it finished and it's fun to peek in each day to watch the progress. Today they are working on the elevator shaft! Anyone else want to peek in? http://dgat2300.org/live-construction-cams/

I do love a good live construction cam! Clemson has a billion of them because it seems as though half of campus is being torn down and rebuilt.

I have a question about Greek housing at NC State, though-the university website says that most groups lease from the university and that a couple houses are privately owned. Will the new Greek Village plan transition the university-owned chapters to privately-owned houses? I see that Delta Gamma is already one of the privately-owned ones but I was wondering how this would affect everyone else.

So, currently, there is a "Fraternity Court" that houses at least half of the GLOs on campus...that's what is being torn down (in phases) to make the new Greek Village. All of the houses on Fraternity Court are owned by the University. In the new Greek Village, the LAND will still belong to the university, but they are doing land-leases (I think the terms are like $1 a year for 100 years or something like that) for each GLO to build upon. So technically the HOUSE will be owned by DG...but the land is still university land.

There is a small clump of larger privately owned houses (built specifically to be fraternity/sorority houses) a few miles from the University (used to be ZTA, XO, and AGR...but I'm 95% sure AGR isn't there anymore and someone else is living in that house). The other privately owned houses are smaller "normal" size houses used for a few GLO members and as a lodge.

In the new Greek Village, there will be some apartments available for smaller GLOs that do not have the capital to take on the land-lease to build their own homes (or don't want to). I believe these are mostly for NPHC groups (which I know are also getting "plots" within the new Greek Village).

I know ZTA and XO have both applied for a land-lease in the new Greek Village. Not sure about ZTA, but XO won't be building until Phase 4...which would be 2019-2022.

So yeah, I'm babbling. The move will not be TO separate private housing...I think most groups will try to be moving into the Greek Village, which will be private, but land-leased, lots.

This is what it'll all look like when all is said and done:

Currently, the bottom 4 houses on the right are the ones built or under construction.
