TTU Greeks (Cookeville, TN)
Ok, ok.... so my reply is SLIGHTY different. Until this year, it was illegal for sororities/women's fraternities to have chapter houses. "WHY?" You ask? hahahaha...
In Tennessee, any house with more than 5... yep.. FIVE... women living in it was considered a Brothel... a hooker house to be put bluntly. Well, fortunately, just this year the law was struck down. However, NOW our Student LIfe advisor says we have to wait for ALL of the Panhellenic Organizations to be able to afford houses before we can even start to build one!
Here's the kicker...
We have 5 sororities on campus: ADPi, DG, KD, Phi Mu, and Zeta. Of the five of us, only 3 can afford chapter houses (I think because of actual Housing Authorities). So for now, we are only allowed chapter rooms. All the sororities get 1 small two bedroom apartment in the married/upperclassmen housing. How BOGUS is that?
On a less aggravating note...
We don't have a Fraternity or Greek Row. All of the fraternities are scattered across campus.
-TKE and KA are right next to each other on one far of campus
-AG Sig isn't even walking distance to campus
-SAE is over by itself on a road going onto campus
-Sig Ep, Pike, and FIJI are on a road just off campus
-and Phi Delt, Beta, Sigma Chi, and Kappa Sig are all on another road just off campus.
The fraternities aren't even next to each other, just more or less scattered up and down random roads off campus!
Funny story...
Ok, so I go to a university that is focused mainly on engineering and chemistry. Needless to say, in that crowd, there aren't a whole lot of Greek-minded people. Hence the lack of Fraternal organization on TTU's campus. One night some of my sisters and I were walking into the TKE house and this car of half-drunk guys drove by, turned around and asked us where "Frat Rowe" was.... like we had one!
