Ideal Fraternity House

[ZZ-kai-]

Ideal for me, would be massive in size, all stone, large pillars in the front. Internally, I'd want to have a wing dedicated to living quarters, preferably in suites (2 double bedrooms per shared bathroom), a large dining room with attached commercial kitchen (with a cook), housemother's suite on the first floor with her own bathroom and sitting room. Large common area's for formal meetings or gatherings with alumni/parents - a huge fireplace with a dragon carved into the stone above. A large rec room with pool tables, fooseball tables and some old-school video games. Chapter room, modeled after the ideal chapter room, in the basement. Outdoors would include parking for all brothers, sand volleyball pit, half-court basketball court, large deck/patio for barbeques, and of course a large yard for the ocassional pickup football game. This house would be equiped with state-of-the-art technology, especially in the 20 man computer/library room.

I didn't mention any beerpong tables or bars, as I don't really think they 'belong' in a fraternity house.

Picture our Aubrun house, bred with our Oklahoma house, mixed with a bit of our Purdue house and add a touch of our Illinois and Ohio State house....that's about what it'd look like - then tack on another 10,000 square feet....I'd like to see a 100 man chapter housed.....comfortably.
