Two Houses
So, my chapter currently has an "unofficial" house where a lot of brothers live in, but we came to the conclusion that the current one is way too small and the building itself has several issues. The conclusion was made to search for another unofficial house while we wait for our alumni organization to fall into place and eventually get a permanent house.
Now, we have an interesting issue in that since my chapter has an overwhelming portion of brothers who attend classes on a certain weird corner, and since we're growing in size, a lot of us thought it'd be nice to have two houses: one on the side of campus near all the engineering buildings (very few undergrads live on this side of the campus; mostly permanent residents, grad students, and professors), and another one on the side of campus where most students live (as well as where all fraternity houses are). They will be a total of 15min walk apart.
However, after speaking to a few people, some think that this would cause a schism in organizational dynamics, where there'd be an internal "north vs south" rivalry. Yet, I personally see it differently in the sense that our brotherhood remained strong even while we didn't have a house, but having a house helped.
What are your thoughts on the issue? Good idea or bad idea to have two unofficial houses on separate sides of campus with ~10 brothers in each.
