Let's hope the last few words is true.

Agreed. I know that it's not unheard of that other organizations occupy houses of dormant chapters (like AOPi at the Chi Chapter house at Michigan State), but still...because of the history...one can't help but worry about its condition as we await Alpha's recolonization.

That can be true, but I witnessed the opposite. Back in the 70s, the Alpha Lambda chapter left Ohio State. I can't remember which Fraternity occupied the house during that time, but when we recolonized in 1980 the Housing Association completely remodeled the home and put an addition on to the back. I was there in the early 80s and the only problem we had was with one of the showers. It may have taken a while for other issues to pop up.

Knowing this is the Alpha chapter if International decides to recolonize, I'm sure we would see some heafty donations coming in. Let's keep our fingers crossed.
