Yeah, whatever we decide to do, this is going to be temporary as we're hoping to get an official house once our alumni corp becomes big enough to handle it. Right now, one of our top priorities is to grow that and get it more "serious" so we can hopefully get an official house within the next three years.

Until then, it's a temporary solution, but there's always got to be the preparation as to what happens if temporary ends up being not-so-temporary.

The idea is that neither will be designated official, but because of how the rules work in my area, if there are four members doing something together, it's considered an official event. So, if even if four of us live in a two-room apartment and throw a rager, nationals and the Greek Life office will know about it if there's a second response noise complaint.

So, in both places, individuals will be in charge, but the schism is a real concern since people of one type would prefer the one on the north, whereas those with a different type of personality will prefer the one on the south.

To the best of my knowledge, no fraternity or sorority has a house on the north, not even unofficial ones. It's just considered weird. As for parties: not gonna work out at all on the northside; sometimes, I wonder if my headphones would generate a noise complaint. It's almost certain that if this setup happens, the following division will appear:

- North: study sessions, alumni events
- South: parties, projects, mailing address
