Saw this on another site and am very saddened by it. A beautiful house and of historical of value. Thank goodness no one was hurt!:)

Here's a link that will take you to the school's greek pages and a link to what the house looked like...

With the Sig Ep fire several weeks ago at another school, there sure are a lot of bad fires lately...

glad everyone got out safely...

Thats a beautiful house. Or was at least. Real Pity. And who cares if it's DU. They are greek, the sixth oldest fraternity in the country and unique. Regardless you shouldn't be bad mouthing another Fraternity.

Did I miss something? Who was bad mouthing anyone?

Wow, that's the house right across the street from the Alpha Gam house at Michigan.It was truly an amazing piece of architecture. I believe it was designed by Albert Kahn, a premiere architect in the Detroit area (there's an building called the Albert Kahn building in Detroit).

I'm so glad there no injuries. I didn't hear anything about this on the local news but then again, they were just focused on the Red Wings victory tonight and the Pistons loss last night...

i heard about it last night while visiting the San Jose DU house. tragic. thank god no one was hurt.

San Jose's DU House was burned down like three years ago too. Very lame. Fire sucks.

At least they didn't have to worry about anyone finding their ritual book not completely burnt.

Very astute Nate, one of the many advantages of being non-secretive.

This sucks all together because I live like a hour at most from this house and I wanted to visit it this summer.
