I have also looked at trying to do something off campus at Nicholls buit the only problem is the city of Thibodaux has an ordinance against Fraternity houses in city limits. The only place in City limits you could would be the Down Town area. and none of that is for sale. We had our alumni behind us to buy the Thibodaux Ice house which is in a business district but it was not in compliance with the ordinance. So now we are looking at other options ie. Building in Schriever which is where alot of colllege apartments are anyway, so we wouldnt be that far from school, and it is alos in the neighboring parish. We are looking at numerous options as far as where to build, how big, wether or not to buy an existing structure, or even to build a little and then see how far we want to take it. My mother is studying to be an architect, and she has been giving me ideas as far as cheap ,functional and indistructable materials to build with. and The lots out in Schriever are only 12,000. So our alumni association has said that they could easily fund us for whatever we want to do. We just have to present our plan to them......Oh and I guess you are wondering how we secured all that money? Well The major way was asking what did we need to do for them to take us seriously? They said pay IHQ on time for TWO years, and keep over Fifty members. Because that is close to how many guys they had back in their day. So we did that. Then we recruited their three of their sons. Three whos dads are our Alumni President and the other two serve on our BOA. Now alll those old guys from the seventies come around and visit the chapter and get drunk in Bars with us and their sons. And so there sons go home and dad asks are the kids for real? Does he have his shit together MY little Bro Tim says.......YES Dad, Blaise has been working on this for TWO years, before I got there.............That is his Goal before he graduates....to get us a house........
