Fire damage was primarily to the roof but there is significant water damage to the second and third floors. We don't know about the basement yet. I've heard that the Panhellenic community has been wonderfully supportive. They have offered space for women to meet and hang out together. Most of our women left the house with just the clothes on their backs- no car keys, no text books, etc. The University has offered a lot of support also.
Our people should be on the ground by now, but our official statement is:
"Last night, there was a fire at our Upsilon Chapter house at the University of Oklahoma. Luckily, all members are safe and accounted for, and volunteers and IHQ staff members are lending support to the chapter. Our hearts go out to our Upsilon sisters, and we are thankful for the quick response of the local firefighters."
A big thank you to those of you involved on that campus and those of you keeping our women in their thoughts and prayers. We are so incredibly thankful that all of the women evacuated safely.
