Wow this is awesome, some of the best housing in the country. I know we had a great chapter here, I did not realize that it had 120-130 brothers, that is huge.

I am extremely envious of the housing at FSU, there alums and the Greek community there is on the ball. South Carolina built a greek village for Greeks a couple years ago and those houses are huge, Lambda Chi's house at USC will be ready by next fall. Auburn just added on to their house and I saw that house first hand, it looks great, it is beautiful inside and expansive, one of the best on campus.

Tennessee should be the next big southern school to expand but only a few fraternities have the money and greek life here has really been hurting recently, losing four chapters in the past 5 years. Our housing is inadequate compared to most colleges in the South, where houses are huge like LSU, Ole Miss, UGA, Auburn ext...We recently got the lottery in Tennessee and supposedly that is going to help build sorority townhouses and either add on to old houses or build new houses. Sig Ep is building what could be the biggest fraternity house in the country, well worth more than 4 million dollars, it helps that Jim Clayon, owner of Clayton homes is a Sig Ep alumni at UT.
We have been working on getting a new house and we now are just starting the long process of collecting money, hopefully in two years you will hear about the prodigious house at UT.

Overall, congratulations to Florida State on their new house, keep it clean and do not treat it like the old one. All of our chapters should aspire to get the best housing we can afford and keep up.
