Stupid frats who can't behave themselves and then can't even give up their empty houses!

I agree. I think it would help the unhoused chapters tremendously to be on "equal" footing at recruitment. So many girls won't even look at an unhoused chapter because the ones with houses are perceived as stronger. Which is very silly.
Although getting a house doesn't mean that a chapter won't experience growing pains. When Alpha Xi got the DG house a few years ago, a large number of women cancelled -- dues experienced a sharp increase. While I think this was a good opportunity to separate the women who truly wanted to be there from those who didn't, I recall a good number of wonderful members who truly couldn't afford the extra expense. All in all, it's really been a pleasure to watch Alpha Xi grow-- I got to campus when they were still relatively new to UCF and they have just taken off since they got a chapter house.
