New Sorority Housing at Auburn

[AUAZD2001]

The buildings look pretty big. 3 floors of 4-person suites. 20 suites per floor=60 suites. My guess would be 2 sororities per floor. It will be the same number of beds as they have on the Hill right now. But the 6 chapter rooms on the first floor... No privacy. at least on the Hill, even if you share a building, your chapter room in the basement, completely seperate from the other chaper.

They'd better rethink that. At Mississippi State in the seventies, there were several chapter rooms in each basement and each sorority pretty much knew what the others wore to initiation. Also, some would listen to each others' ceremonies through the walls with drinking glasses.

I'm cracking up envisioning this.

I don't get why people get so bent out of shape knowing what people wore to initiation. I guess because ASA is pretty open about what we wear...I know we had pics up everywhere from before/after initations. We held our initiation in a local church though, so you'd have had to work pretty hard to "spy" on us.

I wonder if having 6 sororities all in one building would affect inter-sorority relations. Division in the building: Our side vs. their side? Or maybe a common bond: Our building vs thier building?

At least on the Hill, the chapter rooms were on opposite ends of the basement so there was some privacy. Of course when I was in school, we were still in the Quad and the only sorority in the bldg. If 6 are in a bldg, how will they do rush? 6 groups of girls in the lobby? Mayhem!

I think the PNMs will wait outside in the courtyard. That's how you access the chapter rooms.

At Birmingham Southern, 2 sororities share each of the 3 townhouses. I wonder how that works out.
