Yea!
Each of the chapters is unique in its own way. The Alpha chapter is more of a professional sorority than the social. We are not member of women's pan at OSU. Basically we get the best of both worlds, we do social when we feel like it but keep a professional focus on our meetings and activities.
With a house it will be easy to fill in the social aspects. The girls will naturally gravitate to the house and all of a sudden you have all kinds of social stuff happening!
Good Luck! If you have any questions feel free!
