You must be new here! It's because they've added 2 new groups, want to add 3 more and some groups have outgrown their houses. Chapters are over 250 members, don't fit in their houses, and Alabama has the largest recruitment in the country with over 1700 going thru last year. And the new houses are all over 36,000 SF - HUGE 60 to 80 women houses with chapter rooms for close to 300. So yes, they have all that and more!!!!!

Haha not that new. Just been out of the loop being a responsible senior this past year. Or at least attempting to be a responsible senior!

As for the bathroom comment it was meant to be tongue-in-cheek. I have full confidence all the chapters at Bama know exactly what they are doing when it comes to building houses for mega-chapters!

After seeing the floor plans for the new Kappa house at Arkansas I was wondering if there was a niche market for Greek housing architects specifically; or if they are just architects who are experienced with large multiple unit/dorm style buildings.

I wish there were finance set aside update the fraternity houses at USC, they look so trashy compared to our sorority houses! (Well not the interiors since that might be just throwing good money away; but at least the facades)
