i didn't realize that there were some univ of houston people here. and i totally missed this thread when it first started. anyway...

from a bglo perspective, bayou oaks was definitely NOT an option.
dr. lee tried to persuade us to support it every opportunity he got. they even did an entire spill at our officer induction meeting for the NPHC! for the most part, i didn't give it much thought because i knew i was graduating before construction was going to be complete.

as a student who lived on campus the entire time i was at u of h (i lived in cullen oaks my last 2 years but i still consider that "on campus), i was definitely in support of bringing more housing to u of h. but, i thought that the cost was too high to have to share a bedroom. with the cost of rent for each person and the number of people it takes to completely occupy a house plus all associated costs MINUS the option to buy didn't equal any urgency or desire to move in over there.

also, as is the case at most schools and those who went to/go to u of h know, our orgs. have smaller memberships. when it was explained to us that if we didn't have enough people to fill a house, they would add another organization in with us, we were like "HELL NO!!"

i was curious as to what the relations between us, the black greeks, and the rest of the greek community would be if we all lived over there.
