All I got was a map but they have been in the old ADPi house.

I've not seen any interior photos the house at this point in time. However, I would expect that it is well maintained.

Again, my BF's daughter lived in the house at Alabama in 2021-22 maybe. It's not nearly as nice as the other houses, but it's still gorgeous. It won't help them grow. They've sort of stalled out around 200-220 members. They usually pull between 50-75% of quota.

Sorry to hear this, this must be so distressing to the SK collegians at Alabama who believed they were getting their own mansion and thus housing parity with all of the other Sororities. I wonder if they can stay in the swing house indefinitely?

The campus is pretty well stuck with what they currently have as far as sorority housing and availability.

It's no fault by SK that their first few recolonizing years occurred during a worldwide pandemic AND a well-planned, decade-long general rebuilding of Greek homes by nearly every campus group. In addition, any plans made in 2018 by SK and Alabama to build a new SK home by 2024 changed dramatically due to wildly increased costs for labor and materials.

IMO it isn't logically feasible to close this SK chapter and try colonizing yet another NPC group. Monetary cost is one reason. Another is the Alabama Greek Campus isn't going to magically change by having a different new group to possibly and/or automatically garner more members.

The flashiness and immense size of the other houses at Alabama make even a very nice regular Greek house look like a shack. It's like putting the Disneyland castle next to a spacious family home. They don't even look like they're the same kind of structure.

[shadokat]

I couldn't agree more. I don't think they'll close them. They're hanging in there, and they have a great group of women.

Sadly, this was the longest established chapter in Sigma Chi. Lambda was the 6th Sigma Chi chapter when it was originally chartered in1858. 167 continuous years thrown out by idiots who wouldn't stop hazing.

The new honor of longest established chapter is our Xi chapter at Depauw University(IN), founded in 1859.
