With the new property taxes there's no way they can build that.

According to a Phi Psi active I spoke with, the plans are momentarily shelved but still in the works. They are definitely moving into SDT's house next year.
ADPi is building a new house at Washington and Lee. I've seen plans for it long, long ago. When they built the five current houses (completion of those houses occurred in 2000) they reserved a space for a potential sixth house and completed plans for it as well. It will be similar to the current houses with a different facade and probably reversed layout (each of the houses are the same but "flipped" in various ways and (obviously) with different decor. The plans I saw were from the Pi Phi chapter history back when the houses were being planned & constructed and there was a layout scheme for all six houses. Ironically the sixth house on the plans was labeled "Delta Delta Delta."
I'm not sure what that was all about. Maybe wishful thinking on the part of some Tri-Delt architect? LOL. AFAIK there was never any attempt at expansion between KD in 1997 (the plans for the houses were put into motion around 1997) and the failed attempt in 2005. But those plans (which probably ended up in a lot of chapter histories from the architectural presentations to Panhellenic, etc) sure led to a lot of misinformation and confusion among sorority women at W&L. I'm hoping to get some shots of the house in progress when I go to campus in July for a wedding.
For the person who posted about the NC State housing, I'm curious where the sorority houses will be on that plan. It looks like all the initial houses are going to fraternities...
