we once had an advisor that went to auburn. their chapter closed down before it was recolinized just recently. i know they used to have a house. as for UT i am curious as to why all the sororites wouldn't get houses? aren't they all really strong there?

My school doesn't even have greek dorms. With 30% of the students greek, the school feels greek housing would pull too many of the "joiners" or "leaders" out of the dorms. The school would rather have its students mix more. Additionally, there are $$ and land-use issues that the school probably does not want to deal with.

Ah yes, there are many instances like this especially in the Eastern schools.

Land is at a premium and costs are prohibative.

Being from the plains states, most Campi have houses except the private schools who also want to either prototect the virtues and their dorm space.

Just an August 19 news update giving some $$$ estimates, projected completion dates, planned house sizes, quotes from alumnae, and more:

Good, I worry about the costs and where it is located.

Can they afford it?
