First, I want to say that I am not dissing the Omegas. I love them dearly and I am still proud of what they have been able to accomplish at USC.

But if they didn't have the numbers (which I did not know this until today), why in the devil did they build a house? When I graduated from USC in 2001, there weren't event 10 Omegas on campus. When it was announced that they were building a house, it made it seem like (to me) that they had grown a whole lot and they would occupy the house once it was done. I also wondered why the Alphas (who have been at McBride, the old Greek housing) and the Kappas (at the time of the announcement, the SGA president was a Kappa) weren't offered a house. The whole time I was there and since then, they were always bigger in numbers than the Omegas. Hell, if USC wanted to diverse Greek Village so bad with an NPHC group, they could have offered the house to the sorors because they have the numbers (but due to their history on campus I can understand why they didn't).

I know a lot of it has to do with our black leaders and a lot of them being Omegas. But if the numbers aren't there, why do it? Wolfman said that it would take about 40 people to sleep in the house. Carolina considers 10 to be a big line and with the long MIP, finding pledges who have the requirements, and competing with other Greeks and athletics (some also play sports), it would take a long time for 40 people to be in that house. They may get some help with the Sigmas being off the yard (sorry blue and white fam) but even with that, I don't see that being possible.

I wish Zeta Square and the National office luck with their goal to occupy the house. But as a person who is a graduate and knows some of the inner workings, it make take A WHOLE LOT to reach that goal.
