If it was mauve and green and opened to a brick patio, it was still that way when I was in the house. They finally redid it a few years ago - it's very contemporary now. It might have been extremely dated, but I loved how cozy our dining room felt.
And Phi Kappa Theta was still doing the New Faces book when I was a freshman. I really need to find my box of stuff from that year, it would be a riot to look through now.

Yay! I loved coming home to read an Iowa State thread and I figured out a few of these chapters too. I found my New Faces book when I moved from Michigan to Nebraska. I thought it was hilarious.
oldrusheenowmom - When ISUKappa and I went through Rush in 1997, ZTA was no longer on campus, where was their chapter house located?

Great thread. I like that it was to short and sweet! However, we might not make it to August if they are too short!

It was on Lynn not too far from Alpha Chi and AXiD. It was the Alpha Sigma Phi house (before they moved into the former Sigma Nu house) and is now apartments (surprise, surprise).

Oh, maybe it had been reconfigured for the Alpha Sigs, but the building never seemed that big to me. Some of my sisters rented an apartment from the Alpha Sigs one summer.

I just Googled the Iowa State greek site, and found this cool video and article:
http://www.bejane.com/sorority_video
It's very cool, I think, that this chapter wanted to make its own renovations to its house. I'm not familiar with the organization/group that came in and taught the women how to use all the tools...does anyone else? I imagine it could be very empowering for a chapter, and they're skills that every woman should know. I have my own cordless drill, and it is kinda cool

Great Story! I was at Nebraska in the early 80's, and the more I read these stories, the more I realize that I barely remember a thing! I didn't keep notes at all because I was an upperclassman, already knew somebody in every house and didn't need help to keep things straight.
Iowa State's Zetas came to help with rush in 1980 but they ended up closing the house that year anyway.

The Zeta House
Exactly right on the location- and definitely NOT a big house-- Hope ISU and all the midwest schools have a great recruitment!!
