We don't have any pics of our house online. I'll have to work on that. Anyway, our house is one of four on campus. It was built in 1974, and is like a dorm. it is brick, and the inside walls are cinderblock, kind of impersonal. It houses 48 guys, and we have a kitchen, chapter room, formal, game room, study room, cold dorm, tv room, and an atrium. 5 of the rooms were added about 15 years ago, and it closed in the atrium. we just had the kitchen remodeled, got a big screen tv in the tv room, got new carpet, and repainted the hallways. we joke around and say if a bomb hit campus, our house would be the only building left standing. let me just say it was built to have 40+ fraternity guys living in it, and over the last 26 years it has been put to the test!
We used to have a house in town, on ISU's fraternity row, where 3 of the 8 rose houses are (Pike is off campus, but not in town. They have an old orphanage/compound, with a gym and two living buildings. it's pretty nice, but really old, and some stuff is pretty run down), but then we built the new house. I heard we had a really nice, huge house in another part of town, but couldn't have more than 5 or 6 guys living there because of zoning or something, so we just got rid of it.
On a side note, I really like the houses at IU. Most of them are on 3rd street (I think) and the ones that really stand out in my mind are the Lambda Chi house and the Acacia house. They are HUGE and really nice looking. All of the houses on 3rd are really big and really nice though.
