Which is cool because one of our chapter's founding fathers is a reporter on the Fayetville NBC affilliate up there.

Anyone have any news on this?

DH went to the U of A for a few years, and he was friends with the Sigma Nus. Great organization, I have always had respect for them. Hope it works out!

Wow... I guess they are doing well, I found these new-house plans online for Sigma Nu at ARkansas. That will be the pimpest house ever (taking Ole'Miss' spot) after completed.

I'm an Arkansas alum. Wow, that house is tons fancier than the one they had! Are they rebuilding it in the same spot on Arkansas Avenue?

I just found more stats on that new Snake house:

- More than $3.1 million in private gifts were raised. (half came from Don Tyson, a chairman of Tyson Foods)
- The new three-story fraternity house will contain 53 suites overall. (This needs more definition. How many men in a suite? I always picture a suite as one common "living room" area, with a couple bedrooms off of it. This house has the potential to house a LOT of men).
- Four study rooms.
- Two laundry rooms.
- An elevator.

^^^ check the webcam, they have started putting up the brick either today or yesterday.

damn, they toss that stuff on there fast. If you look at the cam pic, and put it next to that artists rendition pic from above it matches up pretty well.

Also, look at the size of the porta potties, bottom left, and put that up against the house size. DAMN that thing is going to be huge.

Nope, doesnt look like it. Right down the road from the stadium at 260 North Stadium Drive.

As of this morning (5/7/2007). The front face is almost done. I wish they would rotate and show how deep it goes back. According to the plans pic from above it is pretty deep on the side.
