Sister Havana, the university (as I'm sure you of all people probably already know) has been trying to buy 3rd streets for quite some time. When I was there, I remember a guy in DU telling me that the university offered them 4 Million dollars for their house (with the option to buy land somewhere else) because the school of music wanted to expand (kids would wake up at 5am and stay up until 2am to find practice rooms because there werent enough). DU apparently preferred to keep their house and key location rather than moving and turned the offer down.
Theta's house is so old (Beta chapter), I wonder if it can become a historic landmark? Either way that wont stop the university from using it as academic offices, but at the least the beautiful mansion would be preserved.
IU's housing problem would be partially solved if they would allow more fraternities and sororities structures on campus. Unfortunately for greek houses (but fortunately for squirrels and the environment), IU LOVES trees, and will build a structure around one before they tear it down. There are spaces here and there, but IU wont cut down the trees to make the land usable.
It would be a shame to lose those houses on 3rd, but look at what moving has done for Beta. They were a top tier before they were kicked off....but now they are on their way to possibly being the top house!
