Those are impressive!
Were they formerly private residences or were they built specifically to be sorority houses?

I believe most of them were built to be sorority houses. I love my own house but the Alpha Phi house is my fav - it's a historical building so they have to get special permission for just about anything they do to it! The ADPi house was built in the 70's - as you can see, it's very inspired - but very cool looking on the inside! The ZTA house is the former Sigma Kappa house - but they've been gone a long time!

PS - here's the recruitment schedule for the rest of the week! Today was brutal!!! But the rest of the week gets easier

Many chapters have a certain preference ceremony that is very special to their chapter that you will participate in or watch
This night is formal attire--something you’d wear to a formal or homecoming, or a cocktail dress, but not prom (like poof and sequence). It can be long or short and it doesn’t have to be black
Sunday, August 24: Invitation Day

Recruitment Guests will find out which chapter they will be joining and participate in Bid Day Activities with their new sisters
Recruitment Counselors will hand out the invitations
We’re Done!
