Sorority Houses a Possibility at U. of Tennessee?

[Tom Earp]

Actually, I Love Tenn.

But coming from a School that All Greeks have Houses, Good, Bad, and Ugly, it still can be a drain on Chapters.

This is what is so funny, that Sororitys usually have More Members than Fraternitys and could afford it better.

But, still the cost of a House can overwhelm many Groups.

Just Beware of what You wish. As I understand that Many Fraternitys are having a hard time paying for their New Houses at Middle Tenn.

Having been on OUr House Corp. for over 10 Years, the Cost of Beds can be a breaking point.

Cost of Beds, what is Charged for Parlor Fees for Non Live-ins has to be compariable to Dorms and Rental Properties in the area.

Granted, it is a Place to Be at, meetings, Partys, Etc., it still cost Money to run and maintain.

Please see a recent news report on NPC housing progress at UTK:

From previous news stories it appears that a couple of contractors had financial problems (not too surprising in these troubled economic times), so construction got delayed on some houses.

The report cited above says the houses that will open in the first phase are:

. . . chapters with houses opening in the first phase are
Delta Zeta,
Kappa Kappa Gamma,
Alpha Chi Omega,
Kappa Delta,
Delta Delta Delta,
Alpha Delta Pi and
Sigma Kappa.”

Hope all this hasn't been posted already; I didn't see it anywhere and I did search............
