A clarification:
At W&L, all the Greek housing is owned by the University and leased by the national fraternities or the housing corporation thereof. SigEp has the lease on their former house for the next three years. Therefore, the house sits empty today. The Alpha Delts are currently unhoused. They have their own off-campus houses but there is no fraternity house, dining facility or anything of that nature. This (IMO) is why they were not able to attract a large pledge class; based on personality alone I'm sure they could have attracted 14-15 guys. There are currently no vacant, unleased fraternity houses. (A few like the old Delt house have been given over to University theme housing like the International house), so the likelihood of Alpha Delt getting a campus house that conforms to W&L's regulations are low (the school would basically have to build them a new house. My guess is that SigEp is worried about the status of its vacant, leased house. The University could theoretically decide to terminate their lease. The brothers of Alpha Delt are in fairly good standing with the administration AFAIK. Then the house could be used either for more theme housing or for Alpha Delt.
I'm not sure that any of this matters since Alpha Delt did not get any new members.
