Epsilon Alpha's new house

[JayhawkAOII]

I heard about this house this summer - one of the Corp board members used to work for my husband - and I really enjoyed hearing about the sustainable features that went into the construction (I'm a construction engineer and working on my LEED certification, so I'm a big old construction nerd). Having been on an advisory council, we were sharing stories of alumnae that just need to take a step back.
One of the funny stories was that some of the women of the chapter could not quite figure out how the land line phone plugged in...cell phone, iPad, iPod -no problem. Land line phone? Not so much.

You laugh, but I had to explicitly teach my 9 year old to use a land line a few weeks ago.

Cell phone or smart phone? No problem!

Land line... "Mom, how does this thing work?"

God help him if actually had to use a rotary dial.

The sustainable features on the new house are pretty cool. (There was a minor tiff amoung some alums who thought the house as designed isn't green ENOUGH.) The house corp. website has a page just about the LEED features.

I am so excited for them! I visited EA when the plans were in the early early stages. This is going to do wonders for them!
