I thought huge houses to have to fill, heat and cool would die out, but that has not been the case.
One of these days, enrollments will drop...and/or going Greek will NOT be a big deal, and we may regret building the mansions. Things always go in cycles. You have to be prepared for the bad times, too.

Totally agree with you. I know that was the main reason why AOII at Ole Miss did not add more rooms when they added on a chapter room and extension to their dining room. Plus, even strong chapters can struggle keeping their house full. Why put that added stress on your members?
Of course I wouldn't trade my 3 years of living in the AOII house at Ole Miss for any apartment, condo, etc!
