faith,
please keep us updated. i have long thought that ucf should have solved whatever environmental problem(gopher tortoise?) that was prohibiting the unhoused greeks building on the land set aside for their housing. hopefully leasing the empty fraternity houses will work out.

Ahh yes, the gopher tortoises! At a recent retreat I went to Bill Merck, VP who (I can't remember the exact title but) takes care of all the buildings on our campus and future endeavors, told us that all the gopher-tortoises had been moved to the north side of campus. They have some sort of disease (I really can't remember, asthma, bronchitis, something) and we simply can't move them. That is the area that is near Lake Claire (across the street from the current Greek area).
The new Greek area would hopefully be across from Academic Village. It stinks that the two Greek areas would not be nearby but hey, at least they will be there!! But with all the drama on our campus currently, the administration is in NO WAY excited to build another Greek housing community. I mean, not a chance (at least for a few years!!). All we can hope for now is that some of the unhoused chapters on our campus, whether they are fraternities or sororities, will get a chance at the houses that sit empty on greek row.
I will keep you updated!

Sigma Chi is suspended too? So, UCF has lost SAE, Pike, Sig Ep and Pi Kapp in the last 2 years and now Sigma Chi is suspended. If the fraternities keep this up, all the sororities will be housed because there won't be any fraternities left!
Has hazing gotten worse over the years at UCF or are the campus police just cracking down on it more?
I was in Orlando a couple of weeks ago and my friends and me drove down Greek Row. It was sad to see the Sig Ep, Pike and SAE house all boarded up and vacant. Although, not to sound too mean  , the Pike house could use a good fire. I don't know if they'll ever get it up to code after what those guys did to it.
ETA:
I always thought the whole turtle thing was just a rumor.

According to the 4/18/07 announcements from the Greek Life Office, Sigma Chi was on probation until the end of Spring semester.

I’m not there anymore, but I am assuming that after all the press coverage of the SAE incident, there must have been a major crackdown.

Last month, I was in Orlando as well, so I drove down Greek Row. I was SHOCKED. I’ve only been gone for 2 years. It was so sad to see the empty houses. I noticed that the Pike house still had random paint splotches on it from that Amanda Bynes movie they filmed there (how they could used that house as a movie set, I’ll never know!)
And adpiucf, I completely agree with your gopher tortoise sentiments!I hate those freaking things!

The exterior of the Pike house wasn't really used for Amanda's movie. Only the interior (which was fixed up a lil bit) was filmed...they used the exterior of a house kinda near where Briercliff & Osceola meet in Delaney Park (subdivision downtown south of 408) instead for the exterior shots of the sorority house.

Maybe it was peeling paint I saw? For all I know it could have been chunks of the house crumbling. There's no telling with that house!
