Greeks were informed a couple of weeks ago that the university is working with Campus Crest Company to develop apartment style buildings that Greeks can put their letters on. The univ is hoping to build its own village in several years so this is just temporary. Due to WG booming and the university requirement of freshmen having to live on campus, it's not surprising that the sorority dorm may soon be unavailable.
Anyone else deal with Campus Crest? I see according to the website that it is in college towns. but Alpha Gam doesn't have chapters there..yet, lol.
One of the largest concerns is that the price would go from now $1180/semester for 2 semesters to approximately $440 /month for 12 months. It would be difficult for 25+ members of any org to find someone to sublet during the summer. The student would pay the amount directly instead of the current method of each sorority paying for 25 beds (hopefully reimbursed by the member, lol).
There would be a bridge and shuttle service to campus. Each resident would have a parking space
and members who don't live there but pay a parlor fee could get keys so they don't have to have a resident to let them in.
UWG needs to add NPC groups but that probably won't happen until there is chapter housing available so the new group can start out on more equal footing.
Some of the fraternities are interested because they don't have houses and others are not because they do.
There are currently 6 BLGO's so they may be able to have at least 1 floor for their own if they can't find enough members/renters.
Each floor is 1200 sq. feet so that's a big meeting room!!
Any thoughts would be appreciated so I can pass them on to the chapter.
A final decision will have to be made in about a month since the apts will be ready for next fall.
