The Alpha Phi house is supposed to be haunted by a former house boy (a concept that went out a long time ago)

Houseboys still go on today... We had houseboys. Houseboys rock.

I pm'd you, but I should make a note that the fraternity kicked him out for theft before he was accused of any of the murders.

This is a great thread! Here is my contribution....
I'm a Sigma Kappa here at the U of Arizona-we are in the process of moving out of our current house and moving into a brand new one. Anyways, the house we are leaving used to be owned by a sorority (they are no longer on campus) and they left quite a few things behind when they moved out! Their name was etched into a sliding glass door that goes onto our patio which you can only see from an angle. However, you can't feel the etching because it is on the inside of the glass. Its very creepy! They also left a giant log of wood that had a VERY creppy face painted on one side with "property of XYZ ritual department-DO NOT remove from house" on the other side. We find their letters scratched into the most random things throughout the house all the time! To top it off, rumor has it that one of their girls was walking home from a party one nite and as she was running across the street to the house, she was hit by a car and killed. To this day, the girls who live in are convinced she (we call her Zeke) is haunting our house. TONS of things have happened-TVS turning on and off, clocks resetting themselves and flashing 2:30, doors randomly locking (this happened MANY times in my room), showers turning on and off, and books falling off the shelves. There was even one time when our house manager had just come downstairs after locking all the upstairs rooms and heard all the doors above her open and then slam shut one at a time, starting on one side of the house and making its way around to the other side! I have so many more stories but it would take forever to tell them all, so I'll stop! Needless to say, as much as I will miss the house, I'm kinda glad to be getting away from the ghost!

Reading through the old posts here and found it amusing that AOII is banned forever from FSU and that they are sister-killing witches.

This was always the story I heard too about the AGD house, I think she hung herself in that upstairs room that houses several girls. They swear it's haunted, but I think she's a nice ghost!

The beautiful AGD house is in the shape of a wedding cake..or used to be until remodeling. The house was a gift from a dad to his engaged daughter. I think the story does that fiance died and she killed herself in one of the rooms. There seems to be strange voices and happenings at time..I think her name is Susie.

Sisters who live in the room tend to get engaged while living in the room.. An UGA AGD might want to provide better details..

This isn't Greek nor ghost related, but at Auburn, they supposedly chained off all of the outside stairs of the Haley Center leading up to the fourth floor because too many people would jump off the side of the stairs to their death.

Here's a creepy one and there's actually a book about it called The Michigan Murders. A man named John Norman Collins- who is rumored to have been a Theta Chi (they're not on our campus anymore..hmmmm) killed 7 women in the Ann Arbor- Ypsilanti area between 1967 and 1969. I'm not sure if any of them were sorority women though, but at least one was an EMU student. He was arrested in 1969 at the age of 21. I read the book and it's really scary to know exactly where the places are that bodies were found and stuff. I think he actually lived in a house down the street from our house! Scary!

yea, i was going to talk about this. one of my sisters did a big report on this for a history class i think and the house that they were murdered in is the green one on the corner of college place and emmit. i dont recall any sorority girls being murdered during this, but i do know that the house is right behind mine and there is a theta chi in the cement on the sidewalk right by the house. wierd.

I can't post the specific groups and/or schools these things happened at b/c unfortunately, they have been covered up & never once made the news or headlines. I know about these b/c I was there at the time, have a relative that attends the school, and have a significant other that works there.

At this particular California school (not mine), a dance major from a sorority was overwhelmed by the load she had at school and the obligations she had to her sorority so she hung herself in her room. It was during the winter break so her sisters were gone. A guy walking by happened to see what he thought was a girls shadow dancing by a window. He saw her three times before he mentioned it to campus security. When they checked the room, they found that she had hung herself. I know that to this day, people sometimes report seeing a girl dancing by the window. I do not know if the room is still in use or if the school & city really helped cover it up so no new students know what happened.

At the same school, a young man was seeking counseling for depression at the student health center. He waited all day but was never seen by any of the counselors so he left at closing time, walked to a bridge in the school, and jumped. The sad thing is that I know for a fact that the school denies he ever sought treatment when he was 100% definitely there looking for help. I hate this school & city but I can't say names or I'd get in trouble.

These events happened within 2 years of each other.

I dunno about that, but I know that's the reason it's so hard to get a key to outside the Eagle's Nest (the top of Haley around the 10th story, kind of like a balcony). At least that's what our guide told us at a campus tour session when it took him 10 minutes to get a key to the doors.

i checked out the ohio link that isubabe put up and i have to say that the miami ones are a bit off. yes we had a fisher hall and it was haunted, but not by the judge. and the story of the student who went missing happened in the 1930's not the 50's. fisher hall itself was not haunted. they found out when they went to demolish the building that it was a fraternity hazing "thing" to have the pledges go in to the students old room and put your letters on the wall. when the building was demolished they found this out and it explained a lot of the noises staff would hear in the building late at night.
the biggest thing about the hauntings at the now conference center is that the ghost used to run through the gardens singing many years ago. i guess that stopped shortly after the conference center was completed. but i know from personal experience it is haunted. i've encountered the ghost in the garden. i posted that story a while ago.
as for the murders and such, don't know if that's all that accurate either. i'd have to check the school records. wilson hall though is true. i've heard that it was used as an asylum years before it was a tb hospital. it's now an all boys hall, but definatley haunted.
ok, that's my two cents.

i didn't think they were all accurate, i just thought the site was interesting and thought i'd share it with everyone.
oh, it's LSUbabe by the way.

SORRY lsubabe, that is not the way it is posted on your left side fact listing!

So evidently you screwed up and you are being listed as such.

That is why people are addressing you as such!
