I am a housing corp officer as well, and the univ has paid nothing more than lip service to themed housing since the universitys inception (we areonly 30 years old). We had a house we rentd for 10 years, but are currenltly unhoused.
Anyway, my city is the north american bid city for the 2007 Pan Am games. My university would be the host institution. Great for us, we get a new stadium tons of athletic facilities and new housing. Well, in an effore to make it happen, the regents last week (the 24th) authorized bonds for the construction of 3000 new beds on campus all to be built by Fall 2003  It would double the number of beds on campus. They had their first strategic meeting today, and have to have plans completed by next month so they can start construction ASAP. At this point, anything goes, so we are really pushing for themed housing, in any form. Could be a dorm wing, could be stand alone houses. But it looks like the univ will be building new housing and it could be greek. Keep your fingers crossed!!!!

Well, things are developing rapidly on the housing front. They had their big meeting last week and decided to allocate the 3000 beds in the following ways: 800 beds, phase ONE, completed by Fall 2003, FRESHMAN. 500 beds, phase TWO, GREEK/THEME housing
completed by Fall 2004, 800 beds, phase THREE, Grad housing/Married Housing, complleted Fall 2005. 900 beds, phase FOUR, regular undergrad, completed Fall 2006.
I am so hyped, because it looks like the university is gonna be building us housing. This has all come about in the last month. How cool is all that? Tons of details to be woked out inthe next 6 months, but the university wants finalized greek housing plans (Architect, construction schedule, etc) by sept. 1 THIS YEAR. We have gone from unhoused to a house (NEW) in 2 years!!! So hyped for the undergrads.
just wanted to share.
