As much as I love to gawk at the Alabama houses, on an in-person visit, they're a bit much. The grandeur overwhelms the lots, and they don't feel human in scale. This is especially true of the Gamma Phi Beta house, with its four above-grade stories. I prefer Ole Miss's and LSU's sorority row. The redone Ole Miss houses do a great job making the facades still feel like houses rather than castles, even when there's a ton of room inside.
