Will the house be on the same mansion style as the other sororities (except Theta)? And what about the pledge class, will they get all of the neat things like the other sororities do for them (i.e. the bag w/ letters, jersey, bid day t-shirt, ballons, cups, pens, pencils, hats, etc)? Sorry I have so many questions I am just wondering how different it would be and how it would work?
Thanks!!

I am
assuming that dues may be cheaper since the chapter doesn't currently have a house. However, the fact that they are planning to have one may change that. By that statement I mean, dues may be just as high as a chapter on campus that does have a house, because part of the DZ dues may be helping to pay the start up costs of getting a new chapter house. Do you see what I mean?
As for the pledge class, I believe that the girls will be treated the same as any other DZ pledge class with Bid Day baskets, shirts, etc. I don't think there is any reason for them to be treated differently.
The style of the house depends on the housing corporation, how much the chapter has to spend on the house, and National's preference. DZ has an alumna who is in charge of the National Housing Corp, so she will probably have a lot to do with how the house is designed. I know that my girls are currently working to update the interior of their house, and their plans had to be approved by her.
When and where the house is built depends on money, city and/or school regulations, zoning, etc. It could take a while. My brother's fraternity just built a new house this past year, and it had been in the planning stages for a few years before construction actually started. There is usually quite a bit of red tape that a chapter must go through in order to build a new house.
Hope this helps a little!
