what is the largest house
 
I WAS WONDERING WHAT THE NATIONS LARGEST FRATERNITY HOUSE IS? AND WHAT THE LARGEST SORORITY HOUSE IS?

For fraternities, I'm pretty sure that the top three largest in the nation are Tau Kappa Epsilon, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and Sigma Chi. As for sororities, the top three are Delta Zeta, Zeta Tau Alpha, and I'm almost positive that it's also Chi Omega.

Do you mean the actual physical house? Or the largest national organization in terms of numbers (or chapters)?

southerngentleman_ka_gb 01-06-2001 06:07 PM

How are you supposed to know that? That seems like an odd question (no offense)! I had to reread that one too ZTAngel! But to compare to your chart I know Chi Omega and Zeta Tau Alpha are definately two of the three. Not sure of the third, but your guess is as good as mine!

I don't know the square feet but my alpha chapter(sigma chi) house is 4 stories and is REALLY huge. I also know the Sigma Chi house at KSU is really huge as well.

I just happen to know that the largest sorority house was built for Alpha Phi at the University of Oklahoma. Unfortunately they went off campus a couple of years ago. :( I think the house is currently occupied by Phi Mu who recently re-colonized on that campus. I don't know if it was sold or if Alpha Phi still owns it.

The second biggest is the Pi Phi house at CU-Boulder. It's a gorgeous building.

The 2nd largest fraternity structure is/was Sigma Alpha Mu @ Ohio State. HUGE.

The largest Fraternity in Numbers is Pi Kappa Alpha.

The Largest sorority is Chi Omega. As for sq. footage of the houses I really dont know.

Not to bust chops, but as long as I was on campus all of the 8 NIC fraternities, thought they were the largest.

EVERYONE thinks they are largest. Why, because their big brother told them they were.

Largest Fraternity House
 
The largest fraternity house in the nation is the Phi Delta Theta house at Florida State University. It's a three-building complex worth over $4 million with a three story chapter house and two sets of town homes behind it, each two stories. It houses 66 members with each unit having private beedrooms and bathrooms. Pike at FSU has the largest house under one roof. As far as sororities, the largest house at FSU is DZ.

I'm surprised the Phi Delt house at FSU was only 4$ million. I know of other houses that were quite a bit more than that.....but not the same size by any means.

I also heard from somewhre that the Delt house at OU (oklahoma) was the largest one story fraternity house in the country or something like that? I dunno, sounded funny, but it is pretty massive.

The Alpha Phi house at the Univ. of Oklahoma was at one time the largest sorority house in America. I am unsure if another group has added onto their house or built a new facility that would overtake it.

In happy news, the house is undergoing a major renovation to house our recently re-colonized chapter. We have over 100 bright,shining new Alpha Phi's, 90 of which will get to live in the house next fall!!
