It's not commercial but it's not residential (in terms of 'family').

It's already cost 31 years of my life waiting for my chapter to come back. There is no price on that!

Just curious, Why would this be any different than Alpha Phi a few years ago?

OH MY!!!!!

I love DG (older cousins were DGs) and am so excited to hear about the colonization efforts at Bama. Hope you all in the loop keep us informed. That house is beyond beautiful. Can't wait to hear about it.

The only difference is that Alpha Phi started with a house. They rented/rent the Sigma Delta Tau house, which is lovely (gorgeous wrought iron with a New Orleans feel to the house). I don't know if they have purchased the house from SDT or not.
Delta Gamma will not have an actual house from which to colonize. The house is scheduled to be completed for recruitment 2012.

Also UA's sorority row is actually being expanded. DG will be one of 4 sororities with new housing. The university is currently tearing down 3 old dorms, which will be replaced with a street extension and new housing for Delta Delta Delta, Alpha Gamma Delta, Alpha Delta Pi and DG.

anchoralumna, do you know how the sororities were chosen to build a new house?

Congratulations!

I can't imagine the Bama Tri Delts not having their round house.

[Titchou]

Carnation: Well, they won't much longer!

FSUZeta: They were chosen by the UA BOT via application. I believe 5 applied for the 3 lots. DG was guaranteed one of them when they agreed to colonize.

There's another difference as well. DG is a much more "southern" sorority. Lots more legacies and a higher profile in traditionally southern sorority circles.

My thought exactly.

[OleMissGlitter]

Gorgeous house! I know DG will come on strong at Bama!

I can't imagine the Tri Delta house different either! I think Alabama is a really wonderful example of how a Greek system should exist! Successful expansions and property growth! Oh and I think AOII is doing some big renovations this summer!

[FSUZeta]

we all better be doing major renovations in order to keep up with that gorgeous delta gamma house!

That, and unlike Alpha Phi, it's a recolonization. Alumnae of a dormant chapter bring an additional level of devotion.

When Alpha Phi came to Alabama, it was a recolonization of our Beta Mu chapter that was present from 1932-1963. Also, I have learned that we purchased the Sigma Delta Tau house that we are currently housed in and plan to tear it down and rebuild a new, larger house in it's place. I am not sure of the timeline to have it finished but I'm sure it is within the next couple of years.

Oh, my mistake! I thought this was a brand-new Alpha Phi chapter.
