Colonization at the University of Alabama?!?

Again? They took the old Pi Phi house a few years ago for the stadium and had to agree to build us a really fantastic one. I haven't been to the campus since it happened but I hear it's gorgeous.

Picture of Pi Phi house at Bama. Did the U really build it? B/C I hate to say this but it looks more like a campus building than a sorority house! (I think the AOII house at Bama is no great shakes. Rebuilding wouldn't be half bad, if the location was decent!)

We used to have an alum of Alabama Beta on GC and she was there when it happened. She told me about all the incredible features the new house had--naturally, I can't remember a thing because it was about the time the twins were rushing, but I remember being stunned by what all she told me!

I have a good friend at Bama who is a Theta and she told me that they announced it at chapter that Sigma Kappa and Delta Gamma would be colonizing there within the next two years. They also said they would be building their houses on the new Fraternity Row.

I wonder if any of the other houses who have overgrown their homes would move from sorority row to the new fraternity to row? Would this be seen as an advantage or a disadvantage to the PNM's? Who's to say, I mean they're closer to the parties... ) and would the stigma of Old Row and New Row be just like it is for the fraternities were the new colonies to build houses on New Row?

Well I certainly hope that the rumor is true; I love to hear about DG expansion! But I know a DG legacy who is going through recruitment at Bama in the fall...I just wish they would have colonized a little sooner so she would have gotten a chance to pledge DG (although I know that she will have her pick of all the other equally fabulous houses at Bama!).

I heard that rumor, too, from an active at LSU. However, no one I have asked has known anything about it... so who knows?
