I've heard the largest Alpha Phi house is at the University of Oklahoma; which is why it was so important to recolonize there...since we own property...Does anyone know if that's true? I didn't go to a school with a Greek Row...so I definitely have trouble relating to the "house" experience.

The Alpha Xi house at Indiana is HUGE. HUGE HUGE HUGE.

Love the catwalk across the front, too! That's a cool feature.

Sorry to bump, but I believe this is true. They have a HUGE house that was difficult to afford before. But the new chapter is doing very well!

Also, I believe that OU might have the largest Gamma Phi chapter...

I believe that is a true statement.

Our house at the UW houses over 100 but it's also "technically" two houses (the main house and the annex that's connected by a skybridge).

I have also heard this to be true, and I am at OU, but I've also heard this to be the largest greek house in the US, if not the world. All of the houses in "greek row" are huge here (check out a google image of houses just to SW of main campus) Greek life is a big deal here!

http://studentlife.ou.edu/content/view/88/ This is the model view since they're about halfway finished with the changes to the front of the house. (Re-model since it hasn't been used in a few years)

Apparently the re-colinization is going well, they're part of formal rush this year.

Most of the houses at U of I are not that big. Well, they're big, but they don't necessarily sleep as many as other schools. For example, the AOII house slept 66. The chapter was huge, but most members only lived in the house for 1 or 2 years. The AOII house seemed about the same size as most of the other NPCs on campus. I would guess most houses slept in the 60-80 range. The sorority houses at Oklahoma are much bigger than Illinois (and consequently, most members are required to live in house for 3 years.) I would guess that the new AOII house at Indiana would be our largest house, but we're building a doozie at Arkansas.
