At Henderson State, (when I was there!), all 5 Fraternities had houses. 4 of them were originally 1 family residential houses. SigEp tore their house down and built a 3 story house of "apartments" for the guys. (Couple years ago, they lost their house and now the University owns it.) Currently, only 2 fraternities still have a house, though.
The sororities all signed agreements waaaay back that we would not pursue housing until 2000 or something like that. (HSU didn't want us to have houses anyway). Now they are talking about building sorority houses that will sleep 4 or 5 sisters each. HSU would own them and the sorority would rent them.
In one way, I'm glad we didn't have houses when I was there. It would stress me out to always be worrying about the upkeep and paying for the house. The year before I pledged, there were 2 dorms that were 2 stories each. 2 sororities would share each dorm, (one on either end) and had their own lobby and chapter room. They were great (but old), but then they were condemned and torn down.
Why are my posts so long??????
