That's a damned good memory.

We kind of did, but it was never as central as a house. Our first small house really changed things. It only slept 3 and we're now looking at major expansion and investment. We don't get money from HQ and have to raise from alumni, so that's kind of limiting, but suffice to say, having a house is a key to our future plans.

Not much of a greek life at Trinity.
I imagine the couple of nationals on campus if forced to go coed may just pull off of campus.

LOL not really, I just assumed that you did since that's what most colonies/chapters without a house do. I completely understand what you mean that having a house, no matter how small, makes things different.

The ASTs on my campus were in a dorm suite for years and were the last ones to give it up when the other groups were all getting houses. They REALLY struggled with getting to a cohesive point and finding a house that worked for them.
