My alma mater's had lots of history. Our first house was a Phi Psi house back in the late 1800s. Our current house was Pi Phi from the 1920s.
Kappa Alpha Theta now the campus bar
Tri-Delt is now the Career service office- Their crest is still above the door
KD is now the daycare and their letters are sill on the house and the wrought iron balcony railing.
Sig Chi and TKE are still in their original houses.
Phi Psi had an interesting history, after using the house that eventually became AST they moved to a gorgeous house toward the stadium. Sadly it burned down and still had their crest window in it. (Always wondered why that wasn't removed when they vacated) Then they moved to greek row, across from Beta, then theymoved to the old SAE house, and last year they moved off greek row to also a former SAE house.
DG's house (which was built by the local they absorbed) is now the house for the local which came after they pulled the charter.
Kinda fun- At homecoming we open our house for both our alumnae and the Pi Phi alumnae so they can see what became of their old house. One of them even sent us presents afterwards cause she was so charmed

eta- The greeks (except for TKE's current structre) were all built by the individual orgs and sold to the college for $1. There was something gotten in return, not clear on that though. So the college owns all of our houses and with the exception of AST the greek lease and do their own cleaning and furniture purchase. AST is like a special interest house and we get housekeeping.
