Did I dream this?

Could be Phi Mu. AOPi was in a private residence hall when I was there in the 70s.

That was one thing I discovered in my research. AOPi moved from their standalone house to the Hardin Apartments during the 1971/1972 school year.

This has been fun, yet sad in a way. I know the only way to get a new sorority is to already own a house or buy an existing house in West Campus area. It will have to be some very well-heeled group.

Yep...even "south" campus (where Alpha Phi and KKG are) is stacked with development. The (relatively) new AT&T conference center & hotel is across the street.

If the community would be open to supporting it (and that's a huge IF) I wonder if two groups joining together and buying land say north of campus would work. That way, there would be a similar situation to what KKG and APhi have going on being "different"? Food for thought. That area is pretty stacked as well, though.

We just had an informal 90s girls Alpha Phi reunion and we were all surprised by the development at the south end. Looks like the Kappa house was undergoing some extensive renovations.
I LOVED the location of the Phi house, and I lived there for 3 years. It was so close to campus and my boyfriend at the time (now my husband) used to come throw pebbles at my window when he walked by. I can understand why a northern location might seem a bit odd to pnms, but that might be the only place right now to expand geographically. Plus, it would be relatively close to SRD, Kinsolving, Fiji house, and some of the newer dorms....
