Unfortunately, UCF has a huge housing problem. The campus has experienced so much growth and it's trying to compensate for the new freshman classes that are coming in. UCF has been building new dorms but they're not for sororities.
UCF's campus is completely planned out already...it's just a matter of building everything. Greek Park was built very small and only a few fraternities and sororities have houses (the majority don't have a house). The last property on Greek Park was bought in the early 90's by Kappa Sig.
Greek Park 2 is in the plans but they've had a lot of setbacks in getting it built. It's been a rollercoaster ride trying to get it built (I'm sure adpiucf would agree!). UCF has a ton of wetlands and nature preserves. Our UCF environmental club has tried to block every Greek Park 2 proposal from going through. Now, I'm all for the environment and stuff but Florida is one big, swampy wetland. Why do they want to save this one?
The only chapters to have houses are ZTA, ADPi, KD, AZD, PiPhi, Tri-Delta, Kappa Sig, SAE, Pike, Sigma Chi, Sig Ep, and ATO.
This leaves Kappa, Theta, ChiO, DG, Sigma Nu, Lambda Chi, FIJI, Phi Delt, DTD, Pi Kapp, TKE, Delta Upsilon, AEPi, Beta, Lambda Theta Phi, Lambda Sigma Upsilon, Sigma Lambda Beta, and the countless NPHC and multi-cultural greek chapters still unhoused.
It's a huge problem and it effects rush greatly. Also, many sororities do not want to colonize on our campus if they're not assured a house within a reasonable amount of time. Big problems because we are need of more sororities. We have 10 and we still have pledge classes that range from 65-71 girls and chapters that are at 190 sisters!!!!
