Now, volgirl's comment said the new houses would hold 40-50 beds, now is that combined with the Panhellenic building, or are they going to get rid of those suites?
I would wonder why you'd downgrade from 60- to 40-50, especially since (according to the articles) the reason for the houses was that the sororities had outgrown the suites (too many girls, etc).
Did i make any sense? lol   |
The current suites are not residences - i.e. no one sleeps in. Safety and fire codes say that around 60 people are suppose to be in the suite at a time. Since many chapters have three times that amount, the chapters need larger spaces. Thus the new chapter houses will include chapter room for the full membership along with bedrooms (residency) for 40 to 50 members.
Panhellenic Building
"The Panhellenic Building houses 15 of the 18 social sororities at UTK. Although the building is not a residence hall facility, each sorority has a suite consisting of a large living room, a kitchen, an office, and a storage area."
