There are a lot of fraternity and sorority HQs in Indianapolis, Indiana, right?

That's where AOII wanted to relocate which prompted the bid donation to stay in TN! I wonder what attracted all those groups to Indianapolis in the first place?

oh yes. It is amazing to drive down Founders Road and see a number of them.

On Founders Road:
Alpha Gamma Delta
Alpha Xi Delta
Kappa Alpha Theta
Sigma Kappa
Zeta Tau Alpha
Delta Upsilon
Theta Chi



In Indianapolis:
Alpha Chi Omega
Alpha Sigma Alpha
Alpha Tau Omega
Delta Sigma Phi
Phi Epsilon Kappa
Phi Kappa Theta
Phi Sigma Kappa
Zeta Beta Tau


If I missed any, my apologies.

BTW - with google map, you can actually "drive" down Founders Road these days and see pictures of several of the HQs. Just move the little dude in the upper left corner on the directional arrow to the street, and the view changes to pictures.

and clearly we were researching at the same time.

Some incentives were offered, I understand, for so many to end up in Indianapolis.

Our HQ was located in New York City just minutes away from our Alpha at NYU. In the 1960s it was moved to Stamford CT and in 1993 it moved to St. Louis MO (the center of the country). In 2007, we made a strategic move to move it east to Philadelphia within a 3 hour drive of 50% of our membership (or some such astounding statistic).

Looking at the Union Triad:

Kappa Alpha Society - HQ in Lansing, NY, which is near Ithica. That is about a 3 hours drive.

Sigma Phi Society - HQ is in Ithica. Also a 3 hours drive.

Delta Phi Fraternity - HQ in Athen, GA. Really far away.

Cool. And if you want, PM with me the name and I can tell you what he might have done at Lyrecrest and whether he's still there.

Sorry. I thought I did convey that clearly enough when I said:
