Fire Marshal Closes Kappa Sigma House at U of Kentucky

Sad news: the 19 men living in the Kappa Sigma house at the U of Kentucky must find housing immediately. The fire marshal has declared the house "unliveable." WKYT has the short report on its web site:

A difficult turn of events, especially at this time of the year. However, it’s another reminder to RM chairs, house managers, and alumni housing boards everywhere that keeping a house in shape – at least up to fire codes – is important.

I hope the (former) residents can find alternative housing quickly and make as smooth a transition as possible to new living quarters. Also here's hoping the closed house can be adequately repaired so that undergrads can live there again soon.

UK has offered dorm space for members (residents) who do not end up off campus. And the target date to move back - if they do* - is Fall 2009.

* For what it is worth, Kappa Sigma has been looking to move (build) for some time now.
