For our house, we used what I would call the wire, spit, and tape method! The chapter women (under the guidance of their advisors) saved about $160,000 over a period of 7 years. We started out in 1995 with assets of $22,000 and increased our house fees to save for a house and the chapter contributed about $180,000 towards construction of the house.
We fundraised (and continue to do so), and borrowed from a bank and the Fraternity, and opened the Kappa Kappa Gamma house at USC in August 2003!
I saw another thread about houses and wanted to post a picture of our house but I can't seem to figure out how to do it! Can somebody tell me how? I'd love to share the picture.
The chapter women made a lot of sacrifices, but in the end it was worth it. I also busted my butt for the better part of 2002 and 2003 to make sure it happend so that my chapter would continue to exist on that campus.
