We don't have a Greek Village at the University of Akron....yet...
They have been doing a feasability study on setting one up. But many of us have a problem with it. Here is the way the houses are set up right now....
There is a block of houses that contains 3 streets and the houses of Phi Sigma Kappa, Sigma Nu, Alpha Gamma Delta (all on Carroll St.), Alpha Kappa Alpha, Kappa Kappa Gamma, FIJI, Alpha Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Alpha Delta Pi (on Spicer St.), and Lonestar and Theta Chi (on Vine St).
Then there are the houses on campus.....Phi Delta Theta (they are located on Spicer but not in that block), Delta Gamma, and Phi Tau (both are directly on campus...driveway leads into parking lots for both).
Tau Kappa Epsilon and Lambda Chi Alpha are off of Fir Hill which is right across the street from us. Delta Tau Delta is the farthest one away which is pretty much in the ghetto.
The problem with the whole Greek Village thing is that half of the chapters with houses are already in the block where they want this village. Then there are the 6 chapters not in that block which would have to move themselves into new houses. Honestly....we love our house and it's location. Plus the fact that DG has the best house on campus (according to everyone who sees it). TKE already has a new house in plan but it is for the area they are already in and they don't want to move, ditto with Lambda Chi.
So I guess I will keep everyone updated on what happens....let me know what you think about it.
