Pitt Sorority Alumnae

Have any of you seen the new suites? O.Mi.Gosh!!! I went to an Alumnae/Mother's Brunch yesterday, and just about fainted! Granted, I only got to see the ADPi suite, but it has to be seen to believed!

They're only responsible for 15 on a floor now, not 17, and there are a LOT more singles! There's only one kitchen, but it's fantastic, not the pullman-style of before. A dishwasher! Two refrigerators! Two microwaves! A garbage disposal! Countertop space! It would be a dream to work in there! And off of the kitchen is... a washer & dryer! In our suite, this was located where the kitchen & the "maid's rooms" were, on the formal side; I don't know if it's the same on every floor.

It's AIR CONDITIONED!!!!!

There are no wall to wall rugs in the ADPi suite, but the hardwood floors are polished to a fare-thee-well, with area rugs. I can remember when we had to have wall to wall carpeting, due to the noise!

The remnaints of the French Doors on the one bedroom are gone - the wall is perfectly smooth now. The other kitchen is a bedroom - and all the bedrooms have a card key now! I had worried about Pitt messing up the moldings, but they're still there - it just looks so classy now, I can't believe it! When we celebrated our 150th birthday, a group from my days all left feeling SO depressed, we referred to the suite as "bunker chic" for the longest time. Not anymore! They have new furniture ordered, and they're using a decorator again.

I'll post some pictures when I can. When I was in school, we had a decorator and the suite was beautiful, but somewhere along the line, things went downhill. I'm so happy for the chapter now, and want to hear if anyone else has seen the redesigned suites. There's one more bit I'd share, but it's just a bit, well, too good to be true. Anyone?
