Hi, everyone...again...For better or worse, some things are left out of the history book. Beryana and I have discovered a mystery or two along the way...How about a badge from a chapter that was closed during its date? Or Stella's religious preference?
I'll ask about the "NO." We all know that names mean
many things to different people...I may be and, knowing me,
I probably AM wrong...so let's all be cheerful and think that the chapter was named for Mrs. Natalie Overall Warren...what can it hurt?
(Sorry...I just read a most excellent book entitled,
In the Company of Cheerful Ladies.)
Okay, now that is settled...
Back to the discussion on Vandy housing.....
The housing push seems to have really heated up lately....one thing to think about...the house, to me, actually seems to have less floor space than one might think from the outside..namely because there is a BEAUTIFUL, but
large fountain squarely in the middle of the living room floor!!!
Land at Vandy is at a premium..to say the least....that is why I am so surprised to find out about Sg Ep colonizing. Phi Delt just left, but they have the only housing space of which I can think. I have a feeling that Sig Ep is unhoused. I know that I should know all of this, but, frankly, I have been so overwhelmed with work that I have just not been asking questions lately. I'll see what I can dig up over Thanksgiving break.
FYI: Vandy's original AOII house, which came right after the chapter's founding in 1917, was SO pretty. According to a history of Vanderbilt that I read, fire concerns about the fraternity and sorority houses helped to bring fraternity row to campus. Ironic, isn't it? The same concerns so many years later...
