Hey guys... I know that we have maintained a house at Illinois but I was just wondering if anyone had the specs/ details of this house in comparison to others on campus? Location, size, upkeep? I know I could probably figure out things like location easily, but anyone who knows the campus could probably explain it much more simply. I also know that a house isn't everything, but with so many groups and houses, it will be a very important feature of returning and remaining competitive.
Also, an interesting point to note, that while doing a little research about the house, found that it is listed on the National Register of Historical places. Doing a little more snooping, I found what I think to be a picture of it.
Can anyone confirm?

... but we retained the sale proceeds!! Our National Housing Corporation is currently working to acquire a house that is closer to campus, safe, secure and a suitable home away from home for our new members to be.

Kappa chapter's former home (it looks like you've got the right one in the photo) is now is currently occupied by a Catholic men's fraternity. It is located at corner of Michigan & Busey in Urbana. A beautiful house and filled with many Alpha Xi Delta memories, but a little off from the beaten path.

Even though the Beta Eta chapter of Alpha Xi Delta at Maryland closed in the 1992-1993 school year, Alpha Xi Delta has continued to maintain the house. I think Pi Kappa Alpha lived there for a year or two before moving onto the row, but in recent years, the AXiD house has housed transfer women and sorority overflow. Now, ADPi and DG's exec boards live there while their houses are being renovated. There will be more renovations for the next two school years, and presumably chapters' exec boards living there. However, when the renovations are done in two years, and if membership trends at Maryland continue...let's just say that AXiD might be REALLY glad they held on to their house.
