It's actually a house for foster kids who go to UCLA.

How fabulous! Foster kids really have the odds stacked against them, since they age-out at 18, but don't have family or savings to help them.

It is sad that word around campus is that this house is a homeless shelter.

Oh man that's cruel It seems like a wonderful idea that I wish colleges took advantage of more (similar to the on campus food pantries for poorer students)

I’ll let my friend know so that people aren’t disseminating misinformation.

Re UCLA, if the houses only hold 60 and if there are problems with getting people to live in (as mentioned in another thread) they might not be in any hurry to decrease chapter total.

I would be surprised to learn that UCLA groups would have trouble filling houses, because housing there is super tight and costs a fortune. Most of the on-campus housing is teeny forced triples. It's a different scene from a college town in the South or Midwest where you can get a conveniently located apartment with your own bedroom and bath and free parking for a similar cost to a sorority house with little privacy.

I not aware of any sorority at UCLA is having trouble filling their house. This is when total was 200 plus having 20-25 members go abroad for Fall or Winter/Spring. With 300 members, basically only one PC gets to live in (+/- Executive Board).

The only hesitation I’ve heard is that ADPi has a 10 girl room that goes to members who have accrued the least amount of points (I can’t explain the point system. Each house has their own and it’s meant to be vague so no one games the system). I have heard that ADPi will be converting this big “bunk room” in to 2 rooms summer 2026 - a 4-person room and a 6-person room.
For historical reference (as I found out from some 50-year members), all houses had a bunk room which housed 10-14 girls as pre-1970’s pledge classes moved directly into the sorority house immediately after Rush. It was the Pledge Room. Purposely using old terms. Most have converted those large rooms. Chi O had a 14-girl room that was changed in to a 6-member and a 4-member room. Size change in number those could hold so the rooms could have larger closets and room for dressers.

ChioLu, I know it's apples and oranges with UCLA, but AFAYK, is it still a desirable rite of passage to live in the big attic room in the Psi house at Arkansas?
