I'm an alum from the '70's, so forgive me for being optimistic...

I sincerely hope that a group of women who want to form a sisterhood in this millenium will succeed without having to have big time real estate.

I attended a reasonably small private college in Chicago, (mostly commuter students,) and we managed to maintain, and grow, a chapter during times when greek life was not popular. The university has grown a lot in the last 25 years, and our Delta Zeta chapter has grown with it. 72 sisters stong. Without a house.

A house does not make a sisterhood. Common values, common goals, great times, and great friendships do. I can't imagine that
things have changed that much since I graduated. Or at least I hope that they haven't!

I'm keeping this group of women in my thoughts, and sending positive vibes to Iowa. I sincerely hope that they are successful, and that they have the rare opportunity to have the same sorority experience that I had in college. And that I still have to this day.

With or Without A House!
