I heard a couple of years ago that the university wanted the Delt House and Alpha Gam (side by side) houses at my Alma Mater since the University owns the rest of the block immediately across from the College Green.
Fortanately, the Galbreath family is still active in the alumni association. The late Brother John Galbreath (Galbreath Realty, etc. nationwide, The Pittsburgh Pirates, several Kentucky Derby winners from Darby Dan Farms outside Columbus) was a Beta Chapter Delt from Ohio University, donated Galbreath Memorial Chapel on the Green across the street from the present Delt Shelter and Brother Wilfred Konniker's family donated the Konniker Alumni Center, a beautiful old brick stucture with white Greek columns a few doors down the street.
Recently, I received a request for donation to refurbish the present house to the tune of $1.5 Million, so I guess the University thought better and backed off.
