Houses at UTK
UTK sororities are preparing to build new facilities in the immediate future. Originally they were all going to build non residential condominiums around a common plaza, and the chapters could choose from 3 different sizes. Alum fundraising has been going on for several years for this. Some of the larger chapters opted out of this and decided to build traditional residential houses housing 40-50 girls instead. Most chapters at UTK have about 175 members, so underclassmen will be able to continue living on the sorority floors in the current sorority dorm, and upperclassmen will be able to live in the houses. At least 6 and I think a couple more of the 13 sororities on campus have already petitioned the university for lots, and the first groups to are hoping to break ground in early 2007. (I do not know if the ones not building houses are still doing condominiums or if all groups are now trying to build houses.) This is a very long awaited and exciting development for UTK!
As for recruitment in the current Panhellenic building- it is VERY HOT with so many excited girls in an outdated 4 story building. Plan your wardrobe accordingly!
