Yes, I think they knocked down the old house right after finals. I'll get a look later today.

If I recall correctly, it's more like $12 million dollar houses. But I don't care, I still want to be back.

My fingers are crossed and my husband will have the wine chilled daily...I'm hoping my nerves (and heart) survive.

Meaning no disrespect, because the stories are fun, but am I the only one hoping you'll instead ask her to write her story and share it here?

The day Tri Sigma colonizes at Bama is the day that this LSU Tiger clutches her pearls and moves to Tuscaloosa to be the house manager!

I'll probably be 70. KSUViolet06 and I will be roommates.

I wonder what the amortization is on a $12M house. I know the fees to live in at Bama are VERY high. But can a house be paid for in 50 years?

Here's the link to the Alabama recruitment booklet. There's a chart with maximum and average costs.

The lists of party times and number of parties per round is very interesting.

Couldn't find a calculator online that would handle over $9,999,999. But that amount at 3.5 % interest (UA bond money rate that was in effect 4 years ago) over 50 years divided by 400 members comes to about $88 a month per woman.

Wow! 90 pages!

Thanks. I was good at math in high school (got a perfect score on that part of the ACT) but man oh man that withers if not used. So it is absolutely a reasonable investment. Thanks for clarifying that for me.

I have a rec girl at Bama who started recruitment today. I cannot even imagine the crowds at parties. The actives certainly have their work cut out for them!

Even with 26 first round parties scheduled .. with 2800+ PNMs that's an average of 107 PNMs at each party.

Only a little over 200 on the floor at any one time. No big deal. Think of it that way.

DZ is still in their old house, not sure when it will be torn down.

ZTA is in a swing house (original ADPi), it is said their new house will be completed for a spring move in.

Like previously stated, Pi Phi is without a house.

AOII will move into a swing house after recruitment (the original AGD house/now swing house is now too small to rush girls out of) the AOII house will be torn down after recruitment.

No word on Theta's housing situation, they are the only chapter who hasn't released a rendering for a new house, but I'm sure one is in the works! It is assumed they will build when DZ builds (after ZTA, Pi Phi and AOII are finished).

in regards to new chapters building. The plan at one point was to tear down Barnard Hall (which is across from Tutwiler and next to Gamma Phi) and the original ADPi house/swing house and that be two lots....which would be perfect Sigma Kappa and Alpha Xi.

I hope so

There is also the lot to the east of the DG house that has an old dorm on it...forget the name - it's been 50 years since I lived on campus! Anchor Alumna - help!
