the rest about average or a little above for others I'd seen.

Yes it was...Gamma Pi occupied the same house from 1974 until their closing. Their formal room was updated again in 1998, with new paint, carpeting, and a wonderful inlaid carpet design for the chapter, donated by a member's father...I hope that carpet gets salvaged for future use.
Prior to 1974, the chapter was in a house on College Avenue, as was the rest of Greek Row. However, the entire greek system started moving to the north and west sides of campus. The old LXA house was bought by a LXA alumni, and the house was moved to a newer area and restored. The only other house LXA occupied is currently the SigEp house, which LXA built in 1940 - when WWII started, the greek system shut down. SigEp recolonized first, and bought the house. There are still some LXA specific items built into the house, which, if you know where and what to look for, are really intriguing items. (PM me for details).
Your idea of a "chapters visited thread" is a great idea!
