YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY.
okay I am just a little excited; it was the clue of Omega Chapter paired with "with love and careful thought" that rang the bell. And the description of the actual physical chapter, which is stunning. As a little girl, and a teenager, driving to Berkeley to pick my dad up at his workplace, I'd drive down Bancroft and I fell in love with UCBerkeley. So, of course, I went to UCSantaBarbara.
Welcome, googledotcom. Welcome.

Ooh OP are you going to tell us what the other 11 code names were? It would be interesting to see what you thought of the same places I visited! Anyway, congrats. I'm sure I'll bump into you soon or I probably already have!

I like how you used a fake name for the Panhellenic president when she's clearly plastered all over the CalGreeks website. 
Congrats though!

Two New Members at the Omega chapter? Congratulations to Sunshine91 too! And to the OP, a very well written and discreet story. Well done!

This is the only recruitment story I've read where I was a little familiar with the chapters. I only know one other house for sure based on your description of the outside of it. 
Congratulations!!!!

Another piece of trivia - the KKG house at UCBerkeley was also designed by Julia Morgan. Sadly, the original Omega chapter house was razed to rebuild on the site. But - I believe the Kappa building is still standing.
I should have studied architecture but I don't do math at all... just appreciate design.
