I don't know the original founding date of AXiD at UK. Here's the story, though: Supposedly there was a race to get the proper forms turned in to get recognition from the university, between AXiD and (I think) AGD. AXiD got recognized 5 minutes before AGD because some of the AXiDs tripped the AGDs on the stairs (whoops!
) and so the AXiDs got to the office first and got their paperwork in first. It's been told to me by girls from other chapters, too, including (I think) an AGD, so I'm pretty sure it's probably the truth.
UKDaisy, what you said about AGD calling themselves the "oldest house on campus"...well, I guess they could call themselves that now since AXiD is gone...
GtownGirl98, I think what you're talking about with the construction is that which TSteven mentioned, on PA Ave. behind the DG house. That is behind the sorority houses and across from the new library. All of the sororities do have houses on campus. The DG and Pi Phi houses look to be the newest, but I'm not sure how old they are. They are at least 2 years old though, because they were around when I first came to campus.
The new houses the were built over the 2001/2002 school year are for Sigma Chi and Sig Ep, and they opened in fall 2002. I heard that UK built those fraternities houses because they tore their old ones down, but I'm not sure if that's true. I don't think they were located in the six pack before, though. There are 5 houses in the 6pack currently, and none of those were the Sigma Chi or Sig Ep houses, since they all house other fraternities.
TSteven, do you know what happened to the 6th house in the 6pack? I heard something about one of the houses exploding the pipes in their basement and the house having to be condemned, but I don't know if that was true.
Also, do you / did you go to UK? You do seem to know a lot about the area, but your user location doesn't say Kentucky...
