Here is what I heard from my friend's daughter that just graduated from UGA this past Spring and lived in the Gamma Phi Beta house her sophomore year:
Her daughter shared this from their website:
Our beautiful house was built in 1905 by Charles Phinizy as a gift to his wife. The house was then rented out to many other fraternities and sororities until Gamma Phi Beta purchased it in 1983. The house has undergone many changes throughout the years, but all the foyer woodwork and trim, pocket doors, chandelier and beveled glass fanlight are original.
She thinks they might have purchased it from Sig Ep. She also added the following information about the original home: The doorknobs are so low on the original doors because his wife was so short and the glass on the original windows is prism glass because she liked rainbows.
