I think a fraternity moved into the old ADPi house....

Isn't it the honors college now? I think the ZTA house would be a more realistic re-aquisition. It's a little more traditional-looking, too.

ZTA and ADPi houses were purchased by the University. ZTA has been turned into the Family and Consumer Science Building. The ADPi house is the Honors College. I don't know where they would put a new house. They are using land near Sorority Row to build new Resident's Halls soon, where AKA and Delta Sigma Theta use to have those little white houses.

I am getting married in May of 2008! It's been great so far to plan because my mother is great at helping!

I think one sorority missed quota by like a handful but they were able to make quota, so it wasn't a big deal. A few houses still do COR/COB because they might have girls who transfer mid-semester, they won't have lots of spots, but like 5 at the most.

ZTA left in 1999 and Tippiechic might know better, but I think they are allowed to come back in ten years. That could be just a rumor but I know they have lots of alumnae in Oxford.

Also, ADPi left before I was in school, I rushed in fall of 1996. So I think they must have left in Spring of 1996 or Fall of 1995. I can ask my friend on campus who is an alumna.

That is the Family and Consumer Science building, aka Lenior Hall or the old ZTA house. It still has ZTA listed on the website, but they are not on campus anymore. I guess they just use it to describe the house or something. Perhaps ZTA still owns it but I had always thought the University purchased it from ZTA.

That is the old ADPi house. It's actually a really neat building. It was a little too modern for Ole Miss but the inside is gorgeous and it has lots of different levels and a huge deck in the back.

There is a rumor going around that they are trying to have a new chapter at Ole Miss by 2010. I spoke with someone in the Chancellor's Office I know and she confirmed there is movement in that direction. Obviously it would have to be a chapter with the financial ability to build a house on campus...and then where would they put it? They
surely could fill a new chapter if the rushees would be willing to join such a chapter?
With 2 daughters going thru recruitment plus all their new friends going through with them I will keep you all posted on the excitement at Ole Miss! Rumor has it there
are several sets of twins going through recruitment...

[OleMissGlitter]

I think there are 3 sets of twins this year....I will have to check.

Hi. I'm new to here and will be attending Ole Miss in the Fall 08, but I was wondering if y'all had any advice for me and joining a fraternity. I just want to make sure I'm prepared and will get into a good house.

I know I want to join a fraternity, but, am not sure which one, how competitive it is, etc. So thanks alot.

Are we there yet? The suspense is killing me.

They were definitely around when I was in school, and in 1991, according to Baird's.

IMHO, the house is the biggest reason that Alpha Delta Pi couldn't properly compete. I understand the reasoning that being different can be the best way to go, but NOT at Ole Miss! Had the house been in the antebellum style of most of the chapters in the South, who knows what would have happened? And now that we're almost another generation away from ADPi's closing, it would be soooo hard to recolonize!


Yet, not impossible!

I just looked up the picture of the Pi Phi house and am wondering what the house looks like since its renovation. I don't think this is post-renovation. Does anyone have a new picture?

[OleMissGlitter]

I have 3 Pi Phi pics on webshots.....
