Theta was originally built in the 1960s - I arrived in 1970 and they had been in the house a few years already. Both Theta and AOPi (next door neighbors) were both extensively renovated just a few years ago.

True, but they're building right now!

I read that they had an architect; have they broken ground? Exciting!

Yes, I think they knocked down the old house right after finals. I'll get a look later today.

DZ is still in their old house, not sure when it will be torn down.

ZTA is in a swing house (original ADPi), it is said their new house will be completed for a spring move in.

Like previously stated, Pi Phi is without a house.

AOII will move into a swing house after recruitment (the original AGD house/now swing house is now too small to rush girls out of) the AOII house will be torn down after recruitment.

No word on Theta's housing situation, they are the only chapter who hasn't released a rendering for a new house, but I'm sure one is in the works! It is assumed they will build when DZ builds (after ZTA, Pi Phi and AOII are finished).

in regards to new chapters building. The plan at one point was to tear down Barnard Hall (which is across from Tutwiler and next to Gamma Phi) and the original ADPi house/swing house and that be two lots....which would be perfect Sigma Kappa and Alpha Xi.

There is also the lot to the east of the DG house that has an old dorm on it...forget the name - it's been 50 years since I lived on campus! Anchor Alumna - help!

I think it's a tutoring center or something now. They'll probably take down Barnard Hall before it.

FYI, with parties about to end today, I've heard some way more reasonable numbers.
No shows, no payments of registration fees, PNMs who are at another school, those who took one look and chickened out, and those who just wanted to move in early to party or get away from parents.....all subtracted....it's more like 2674, not north of 2800.

So Alpha Omicron Pi has released an image of their new house? Just curious, is there any place I could find a picture of it? I've seen a picture of the proposed new Delta Zeta and Pi Beta Phi houses, but I've looked all over and can't find a picture of the proposed new AOPi house. I saw that Barganier Davis Sims are the architects for their new house, but I can't find an image on their website. A young lady in my Sunday School class was an AOPi and it would be nice if I could show her a picture of it.

It's on a board in front of the house now. Someone on Facebook had a photo of 2 cute girls with the sign.

Thanks, just went to their facebook page and saw the photo! Thanks also for the update on the expansion situation Thursday.

In case anyone is wondering, among all the rain delays, fire alarms, etc that have occurred, the biggest snafu has occurred today. Recruitment has been put on hold because of a computer glitch. This is NOT a rumor-- all upperclassmen had to go to the exec tent because some were given incorrect schedules. Some girls were also released that were not supposed to be. This was confirmed by the rho chis. The schedule is now 2 hrs and 40 minutes behind.
