Fraternity/sorority house chapter halls
Does your fraternity or sorority house have a chapter hall?
My daughter attended Williams College where fraternities existed until 1965. Her senior year she resided in the former Alpha Delta Phi house. It had a most impressive chapter room.
Only Alpha Delts were ever admitted. Picture a tall ceiling room approximately 20' x 40' in size with no windows and exquisitely paneled walls and ceiling. Along each wall was a padded bench on which the members sat. Any fraternity ceremony in such a setting would have been a moving experience.
I attended a state university and we did not have these luxuries. I wonder how many of these rooms exist?
