Largest residence for each GLO

[Stef the Pef]

That's what I loved about that house's plans--it's more like a house. The FSU pair look like some of the boring newer dorms here at Baylor. Nothing special.

I doubt it's the largest, but it's still large: the Fiji house at Univ. of Washington is big, beautiful and yet kinda mysterious and creepy from the outside. It's always dark when I drive by. http://uwgreeks.com/ifc/profiles/PhiGammaDelta.php The Sigma Chi house at UW is pretty big too.

Purdue's Delta Zeta chapter has a gorgeous house as well!

My sister-in-law was an AXiD at Purdue. Unforunately, they got initiated and then the chapter shut down so they all had to go alum. Then they reopened the next year with all new girls. I remember her saying their house was beautiful. I need to go check it out on the website (if there are pictures).

If you go to this posting in the AXiD forum you can see a picture of the Purdue house and other too

Yeah, I'm thinking Indiana may take it with their house. Your chapter houses are gorgeous (except for Georgia Tech, but it's a tech school so I'm not surprised.).

It wouldn't surprise me if IU had the largest houses for many GLOs. The IU houses are ginormous! Almost all the sororities have well over 100 members, with most living in the house.

The houses at U. Illinois look huge, as well. http://www.illiniphc.com/page.php?page_id=1362

I've heard the largest Alpha Phi house is at the University of Oklahoma; which is why it was so important to recolonize there...since we own property...Does anyone know if that's true? I didn't go to a school with a Greek Row...so I definitely have trouble relating to the "house" experience.

The Alpha Xi house at Indiana is HUGE. HUGE HUGE HUGE.

Love the catwalk across the front, too! That's a cool feature.

Most of the houses at U of I are not that big. Well, they're big, but they don't necessarily sleep as many as other schools. For example, the AOII house slept 66. The chapter was huge, but most members only lived in the house for 1 or 2 years. The AOII house seemed about the same size as most of the other NPCs on campus. I would guess most houses slept in the 60-80 range. The sorority houses at Oklahoma are much bigger than Illinois (and consequently, most members are required to live in house for 3 years.) I would guess that the new AOII house at Indiana would be our largest house, but we're building a doozie at Arkansas.

I've always thought this was the pimpest Snake (ΣN) house. Ole Miss - I think they have like 180 members (site says 193, but it may be a little old).

Sorry to bump, but I believe this is true. They have a HUGE house that was difficult to afford before. But the new chapter is doing very well!

Also, I believe that OU might have the largest Gamma Phi chapter...

I have also heard this to be true, and I am at OU, but I've also heard this to be the largest greek house in the US, if not the world. All of the houses in "greek row" are huge here (check out a google image of houses just to SW of main campus) Greek life is a big deal here!

http://studentlife.ou.edu/content/view/88/ This is the model view since they're about halfway finished with the changes to the front of the house. (Re-model since it hasn't been used in a few years)

Apparently the re-colinization is going well, they're part of formal rush this year.

I believe that is a true statement.

Our house at the UW houses over 100 but it's also "technically" two houses (the main house and the annex that's connected by a skybridge).
