what, in your opinion, the possibility of that actually happening?

The "Big Squirrels" will have to tell us that!

But I'd love to see it back!

I'm a greek at Syracuse, and I've had long discussions with many of the sisters and some on Panhellenic about this happening. We need all houses to be at total before we recolonize AGD, and most are. The exception is a fantastic house...they just need more great girls. While their pledge class this year is not total, it is full of fabulous girls who should really help the house reach total.
Of course, we'd love to have AGD back for a few reasons. First, many of the girls assigned to Butterfield House were not exactly excited...and there was a lot of drama in that house. Secondly, we'd love another sorority. Many girls did not have positive rush results this year, and another house would give the Syracuse future Greeks a fantastic new option. More and more girls go through rush every year...this year had around 800, and another house would mean more Greeks...and who wouldn't want that?

I found this, and other pictures, on a blog. I'm not having much luck at saving the pictures on my computer so I can post them on MY blog...maybe one of y'all could help me out? http://www.flickr.com/photos/3011290...7594376950521/

I also found a picture of Alpha house in the Quarterly online. Does anyone know how to save a picture that is in adobe acrobat? I'm clueless.

Random fact that I learned from this Quarterly: the house that Butterfield designed was actually Alpha chapter's 4th house! Now, if I could only get my hands on pictures of the previous 3...

We need a blog update!

I'm not positive, but I believe that the Butterfield Chi chapter house was also not Chi's first housing facility. I have a picture of my grandmother with other sisters, and the house isn't the same. My BFF lives nearby the MSU, and I am trying to bribe her to go to the historical society to get me the info.

You are correct, it's not Chi's first house. I believe it is their 2nd or 3rd house.

This is awesome news, ladies!

Okay, so according to this, the House Association for the Alpha house is being dissolved.

There was a MySpace bulletin pleading with members to help save the house because it's in danger of being sold. Is there any truth in that? I find it hard to believe that they'd be getting rid of Alpha house, especially when we hope to re-colonize the chapter soon.

I'm confused. Could someone please explain?

That's what I thought as well, so why is there such a mass hysteria on MySpace and Facebook encouraging members to show their outrage to IHQ?

To the Sisters of AGD from the mother of an AGD collegian - I was a member of Gamma Phi Beta (also an Alpha Chapter at SU) at Syracuse and had many good friends in AGD. I truly hope SU will give AGD first rights if a new sorority is brought on campus (there are 10 less sororities at SU now than when I was an undergraduate - but the SU administration was never fond of the Greek system - maybe that's changed). Alpha Chapters are special, and I hope Butterfield House is returned to its rightful use as an Alpha Gam chapter house. I would hope that the Gamma Phis and Alpha Phis (the other two of the Syracuse Triad) will push for this as well.
