I was told when I first came to Clemson in 2012 that it would be done by 2016, but it's 2014 and the University and chapters still can't come to an agreement about who would own the houses, who would pay for the houses, how big they would be, and other stuff I probably don't know about. The plans that were posted online have also been taken down, so I'm unsure of the status of our Greek Village at this point.

Sounds like what happened at Tennessee. They talked about the Sorority Village for at least a decade before houses actually got there. Good luck!

I'm a bit surprised, as all the powers that be at Clemson have to do is look down the road at USC's Greek Village that was started about, what, 10-12 years ago? The land is USC's, and the houses were built and are owned by the sororities/fraternities, with certain requirements to meet to stay there. They (Clemsonites) would be able to discern what works and what doesn't.
