Delta Gamma at Bama

[AZ-AlphaXi]

House moms (now usually known as House Directors) are usually employed by the house corporation to be the day to day manager of the house. This is usually in chapters that have large houses. In the "olden" days the house mom as the chaperone as well as manager. She supervises the staff, which may consist of cook(s), kitchen help/servers, house cleaning staff, and maintenance people. She is usually the one who plans the meals and does the shopping. She makes sure that everything is locked up at night.

Regarding being a member, each group has different requirements as to membership of the house mom. Again in the
"olden" days fraternities all had house mothers, none of whom would have been members. My grandmother was house
mother for ZTA at the University of Kentucky in the 50s and was not a member. The house mother we had in the 70s was not a member, however we did initiate her the year she retired.

When doing a campus visit earlier this year at Bama with my daughter, lots of girls were talking about DG coming to campus. Very exciting for DG and the Greek system.
And my that house will be beautiful..

Oh and Carnation the Tri Delts round house has serious foundation issues. So sad because it is very cool.

I think so the Chi O house looked beautiful from the outside. The only house my friend's daughter told me about was Tri Delt. She also had a Tri Delt friend that took my daughter to the house for a quick visit. I think the girls move out at the end of the year....

You mean as in this spring? Will they rush out of a fraternity house during construction?

I had heard there were major roof problems, too, with the Delta Delta Delta house.
They're building an entirely new house in a different location, so I doubt they will permanently move out this spring and have a full year with no house...of course, maybe one of the other groups has already bought their house...we need Zillini!

Most Tri Delts I know hate the house! It is, however, unique and memorable. And really, a pretty structure.
