Preservation of Founding Location?
What state of preservation is the founding location (at your founding school)?
I could see everything from
XYZ Fraternity was founded in 1870 at a room under the Rotunda at University of Virginia and the room is kept as it was in 1875 and any changes to the room have to be approved by the Virginia State Historical Society.
to
UVW Sorority was founded in 1880 in the dormitory at Geneva School for Girls which went bankrupt in 1905. The property became a home for unwed mothers for the local Catholic diocese and the dormitory burned down in 1920. The property was eventually bought by the State in 1965 and has been used since as a Juvenile Detention Facility with most of the land that the dormitory sat on contains the Staff parking lot.
For Alpha Phi Omega, the building in which we were founded still exists, but the School has both renamed the building (Brainerd Hall is now Hogg Hall) and renovated the floor, so the room no longer exists.
