New Omega house at USC Greek Village.
Here's the architectural rendering of the last house to be built in the USC (South Carolina) Greek Village. Construction will commence in June. It was designed by a black architectural firm.

It looks nice from the small pic. I was pleased to see that it does not have those plantation columns out front like all the other houses!

No Old South theme, huh.  Per the architect's website, the columns will be brick, and the design was inspired by the Prairie architectural style, popularized by Frank Lloyd Wright in the early '20th century.

I can't remember which sorority it was, but the staircase on the insidewas built to look like the staircase in Tara (Gone With The Wind). I'm glad the bruhs are doing a house that doesn't look like everyone else.
Yay Zeta Square!!!!

If some of the white students had their way some Bruhs would be hanging from those columns.

^^^^^^
TRUE!!!!! I remember when they started planning Greek Village (when I was in undergrad). They were probably thinking "those Black greeks don't have enough to build a house and the Alphas will stay in raggey McBride". President Sorstean (sp) ruined those plans when he personally called the bruhs himself. Actually, it was supose to be near the adult/family housing and then the families starting worring about parties and noise all night long.
Axeam, I think you're starting to rub off on me.
