I know of a chapter that had the house they had leased sold out from under them about 6 weeks before recruitment? They had to find a house to lease, but it had to be within a certain distance of campus. The only house they could find that would work as a lodge was a historic house, but it had been a frat house. The fraternity had left, but the entire inside of the house was painted black and the outside of the house had not been maintained. The girls (and some experienced Dads) dropped the ceilings, installed air conditioning, repainted the house inside and out, and repaired the roof before recruitment. The transformation was astonishing.
The house would later gain a spot on the historic registry (and be sold out from under them again!) They have since taken steps to make sure that this doesn't happen again....

In another event - was it Southern Miss that had raw sewage back up into the sorority dorm suites after Rita?
