Nobody feels seperated. We play tricks on each other (like toilet papering each other's side of the lot and stuff or writing with side walk chalk). We are constantly crossing the parking lot to see each other and you always have someone somewhere who you can talk to. It is so funny though, some one will call the brown house for whoever and we are like "she lives in the white house" because we don't think about the correlation between us and the white house in DC. People give us some weird comments on that one. Other than that it makes us special!!!

Here are links to the Chi Omega houses at USC and UCLA.
USC: http://www.usc.edu/dept/ifc/frat/chiomega.html
UCLA: http://www.studentgroups.ucla.edu/pa...io2/chio2.html
We're no longer on the USC campus, but the house was gorgeous--beautiful grand front staircase, housed about 60 of us, had a little kitchen where we could cook for ourselves when the staff was not there--breakfast lunch and dinner were catered M-F, had a computer center and workout room--I lived in for 2 years and loved it.

Our house has received two new additions to it since it was first built. The second addition is being built right now!!!  Our old chapter room/dining room is being converted into a study room on one side and a formal living room on the other. Our chapter hall will be huge! It will have a stage. Then, there's a covered walkway from the chapter hall to the main living. It looks awesome so far. The best part is that nationals are paying for all of it (the new furniture and construction). In other words, our dues won't go up at all!!! Our website is: http://pegasus.cc.ucf.edu/~zta The pictures of the addition are supposed to be on the sight. Don't know if our sight builder has gotten around to it yet.

It's kind of obvious since I started this topic, but I've always found fraternity and sorority houses very interesting to see.
NEW QUESTION!
Does anyone know what the largest house is, like, in North America? Or what campus has the largest/best houses as far as size goes? Here at Miami we have big houses, but they aren't huge mansions like some of these I've seen.

I was wondering what you thought about the Sigma Chi house at Miami (ohio) Brian?
Hey UNF, I haven't been up far enough north yet to see your house, but I do know one of the brothers in my chapter who lives in Jax that goes up that way a lot. I haven't been to our house since our 30th birthday in April, so I don't know how are pool is holding up. I once put on my scuba gear to help clean it though. I hope to make it back up to my house, Orlando and maybe UCF and to party at the end of July, work is keeping me too busy to go up this month. UCF does have an awesome house and all the girls I've seen at UCF are 10's.

Sig624,
I'm sure many will be envious of the Sigma Chi's now, at least because of their house. As you know, it caught on fire towards the end of the first semester last year. We live two houses down from them. Reconstruction has been going on since then, and last I heard they now have central air conditioning!!  Regardless, I have never seen the inside of the house, but the outside was very attractive. At least it was until it was all burnt up. I'm sure it will look nice after the summer.
Here at Miami, Sigma Chi's are stereotypically big guys, same with Theta Chi. Either of them are the usual Puddle Pull champions during Greek Week and our Pledge Puddle Pull (but we won last year, woohoo!)

Thanks for the replies about our house  . All of yours look great also.Its funny because the house has caught on fire two times. The lastest time it did it was in the '80s and an alum who was president told us that while the girls were watching the firemen put it out DU was across the street watching, blasting Burning Down The House, with their speakers in the windows. I will also fix the link I put and show you one of my other fave houses on campus. The Sigma Kappa House.

Your houses are all so beautiful!! Iowa Hawkeye that house is amazing!! UMGirls house is even nicer inside. I have been there before and you literally can get LOST if you don't know your way around it!! I drive by it everyday for work and I smile that we have such an awesome house. At EMU, we had a nice house this last year that was yellow and trimmed in green and red so it was really neat that it matched us. this year we are taking the old DZ house because they are moving into the Univ. President's old house. I think it is gonna look really nice!! We are getting frosted glass for the door window and we are gonna finally have a house we can hopefully keep for a while (we get a new house almost every year)!!

ok the link is fixed and here is Sigma Kappa. Their house is on a steep hill and it takes about 5 flights of stairs to get up to it and they also have a volleyball court on the bottom of the hill. http://www.umich.edu/~greeks/images/...ouse-large.jpg

It is a cool topic!
This is a pic of our house http://www.stuorg.iastate.edu/thetadeltachi/
Our house is the oldest house for fraternal living in Iowa State (built in 1909) and we were chartered in 1919 ... and our house is one of Iowa State's historical landmark. Last renovation was in 1960s, and we take a good care of our house.

queequek,
I'm fairly certain our house would qualify as a historic building, but I've always wondered what the advantages/disadvantages were of it? Could you tell me?
