Sweathrt,
I suspect you misspoke. The Beta House is on the edge of Campus, but pretty much in the middle of town -- only a block from Court and Union Streets which is where the campus meets the town at the corner of the College Green. (welcome to rural America) Before the Route 33 bypass was built, Congress Street, on which the house is located, was the original Southbound Route 33 through Athens, and is still a fairly heavily used street due to the one-way street system which is so befuddling until you get used to it. Congress street turns into President Street for one block and then becomes Richland Avenue. The old Delt Shelter (where I pledged) was at the corner of President and Richland, right at the top of the bridge.
The Bromley Hall we keep mentioning was originally a privately owned dorm which was built when I was on campus. It was real luxury in those days, with air conditioning and an indoor swimming pool. It was purchased by the university a couple years ago. It is also by far the tallest building in Athens (at a whole 8 stories!). That's why I asked in my very first post if it had been damaged.
End of the Athens geography lesson.
