There is a former frat house on Richmond that I so wish AGD could move into (if we were invited back).

Kappa Alpha Theta is completing a capital campaign and will be doing an enormous renovation (not cosmetic) that will increase bed space, rework living spaces and also reallocate space including the house mothers room. From '06-09 the Chapter received extensive mechanical improvements and renovation. I was on the facility board during that process and am excited to see the upcoming changes as well.
The Kappa Alpha Psi former chapter house (it was the Alpha Chapter) on Richmond has been before the City Council for high density student housing (apartments). I haven't seen much else on that front but the City had suspended some of its permitting processes pending ordinance review and other City matters. (All this information subject to check; I haven't looked at it for awhile).
Neither the City or the University seems inclined to preserve the old homes; Columbia, MO is very strongly in favor of large student housing development projects constructed by private developers. The new Council has not show any departure from this approach.
I hope all PNMs focus on the women and not the buildings. It's the people that are your sisters for a lifetime. The tear down and rebuild of homes recently says a lot about the strength of sorority and friendship and how a building is a home because of the people you share it with not the other way around.
