Thanks everyone for the advice. I am looking at speaking with our University to see if this would even be an option. I personally do not see our Greek system growing at all, and I think something of this sort would help.
Try to imagine this: All the fraternity/sorority houses are typical 2 family houses....most of them well over 50 years old. Our school used to be quite the beer drinking college, until the cops really put a damper down on things. So, for the fraternities that have been around a long time, their houses have taken a beating. We have been around only 8 years and our house has taken a beating too. The biggest house on campus houses about 10 people.
Some fraternities and sororities have jumped houses every year or two.....and because most of the greek houses are being rented, its not worth dropping money to fix it up. Plus, the landlords in this city could not really care about the living conditions.
I just hoped that Univ. funded housing would spark a real greek row, with nice/new facilities. I think it would be a great hit....most everyone would realize that the benefits would outweigh the costs. (hmmm, lets see....nice new big 15 man house, or should we keep our dump just so we can have beer in the house???).
PS, it also would be nice to get all the greeks in one area, whereas now, they are kinda spread out. One on the north end, three in the middle and then 5 on the south end...it kinda sucks.
