Corporation/Housing Boards
I actually have the housing layouts for UWG sitting next to me. As a sorority (NPC) member from UWG I can tell you that housing such as this has been a dream of ours for quite a while. It's exciting to actually see it happen and be involved in it!
The sizes of the houses are pretty much the same has what is offered now. For the NPC groups, they are housing 20-30 women in the residence halls at present, so filling a 16-20 bed house will not be a stretch (the parlor fees might be though, at least initially). I would not be surprised if most of the fraternities maintain their current houses. Sigma Nu will literally be right around the corner. Chi Phi (2 houses now), Kappa Sigma, and Kappa Alpha Order (2 houses now) are on the main drag of the campus.
What I have found surprising in all of this are the numerous chapters that do not have a chapter corporation/housing board or any money saved up for just this scenario. What the heck did they do with all their housing fees for all these years? I know they assessed them.
And here's a question for campuses that have recently built houses. Did you experience an increase in membership after the housing/Greek Row was completed? Did it take a few years? Does anyone have experience in this area?
