And you are correct in that well respected Brothers in the financial sector in SC, esp. Tony Grant, was very influential in making this venture happen.
I don't want to denigrate the house. But it seems those resources could have been used to build Omega community centers that could be rented out to community groups for community service programs, similar to how the Omega HQ rents out space to small businesses, and nonprofit groups ( at least they did when we visited the HQ during our ATL national convention) i.e. economic development. Now that impressed me.

A frat house on one campus just does not, to me, seem to me to be a logical investment. But then maybe it is my MBA and social service background coming out.

And again I wish the Housing Corporation well in this venture.
