More UGa details
I don't know all of the housing details at UGa, and they were put together years ago when the campus was run by a DTD alum called the "Dean of Boys" (maybe it was Dean of Men, but I don't think so) - Dean _______ Tate.
He probably said the chapters could use the land, and he probably called the local banker and told him to loan the money to build the house. There probably was no paperwork - just Dean Tate's word. Now, Tate is dead, and a bunch of fraternities have huge southern mansions, right on the main drag across from campus, or facing the river - but they don't own the land and several apparently don't even have a lease.
Sigma Nu has a fire, gets some isurance money, but can't borrow addl. money since they don't own the land.
Make a note, though, that none of the sororities are mentioned in this predicament. As much as I love to make fun of these little ole lady alums who run the sororities, none of them are in houses without land or leases. thanks God for the little ole ladies, in this case.
