on a side note.. that Greek community project is going to ROCK! Now maybe we can get LXA back up here!!

Sorry -- I'll leave it to NCSU topics!

Well what do you know, there is someone nice from our rival school. It's fine. you're more than welcome to comment about our Greek Housing and fraternity life. Afterall, that is what the guy who posted this thread was inquiring about.
Best of luck to y'all this season. You're gonna need it, especially with our hockey and football teams!!

Hey, I grew up a State fan, so I know how tough it can be sometimes...what's that facebook group regarding UNC's rivals, again? (Kidding!) I'm looking forward to football season, too--the only team we've been reliably able to beat since I got to Chapel Hill in 2004 has been State, even though they've probably been better than us every year. It makes for an interesting game day, that's for sure. I think they'll beat us this year, but I've learned not to expect much from Carolina football!

But then, the only sport that really matters is still months away

I can see why all of the guys thought that wouldn't be optimal. I know they're looking for space, maybe to build, but there really isn't anything within range of the other houses.

Which, in a nutshell, is why you sell your soul to hang onto your property in Chapel Hill...it's a tough lesson to learn at the expense of your chapter.

News to me that SAE owns the apartment house in fraternity court. I know the guy who bought it in 2002 and renovated it rent as apartments was not from UNC. He must have sold it recently?

Has anyone bought the DZ house? That house has one of the worst designs I've ever seen. I can't even describe how dysfunctional it is, especially considering it isn't even ten years old.

I heard that the Church on Franklin bought the old KAT house on Rosemary as an 'annex' (sort of). So there really are limited options. That's why I don't blame Pi Lam. They had the cash at the right time (I'm pretty sure one alumn bought it outright--no mortgage) and jumped on the open house.

I can only think of one fraternity that currently has a house and may be in financial problems. It could be a long time before another house goes up for sale. Then again no one would have guessed the KA house would have been available.

What happened to the PKP house? I know they aren't around. Last of the golf course fraternities (besides the pre pharm house).

The greek community here at NC State is pretty diverse, you will definitely find a group you like with ease.

I cant really give my opinion on the the fraternities here without being biased, but be sure to stop by the Lodge (Chi Psi). I can say without a doubt in my mind that we have the strongest brotherhood on campus.

Three in a row Greek Week Champions!

Thanks I appreciate it, I wasnt really trying to start something between UNC and State but I'm glad everythings cool. Yea I'm excited for rush but it seems like its going to be hard to visit and spend time with the ones I'm interested since a lot of their events conflict with times.

I have news for you fella...every single fraternity will make the same claim. You need to have a better sell than brotherhood.

To the original poster, look for the golf course and you'll find your answer.

As a fellow lodger, I will reiterate that we won greek week for the past 3 years in a row. We won the caldwell cup in 06 and the founders trophy before that for being the most improved of any chi psi in the country. Earlier this august we received multiple awards at our national convention for excellence in finances, service, and publications. And these awards are not given out easily. We were founded way back in 1841 and although every fraternity has interesting traditions, I think our history is very distinctive and is a source for pride. We also work hard to set ourselves apart in terms of philanthropic efforts by getting involved with tons of events on campus and we have established the Pink Tie Benefit Ball, now held annually for Susan G Komen. I think we have a lot going for us and we are definitely improving and growing with time. And as for the closeness of our brotherhood-i really do think we have a very close and special group. I am not trying to say that the lodge is necessarily better than any other group bc I know that a lot of the organizations at State are very strong. It really depends on the individual finding the right place for them. I will say that for me at least-I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

God I love it when people recruit on GreekChat.

I'll give you a big heads up, getting your name out there and airing out your achievements to anonymous people on a national greek website isn't exactly the most impressive thing you can do.

And I'm not going to rehash my arguments over why national and campus awards are a poor indicator of quality, I've done that plenty.

Sounds like y'all are doing good things though, and I'm glad you enjoy your house!

[State Lodger]

I agree with you there. I just had to put down a couple things in response to the comment that we had nothing else to put down besides brotherhood. To me though, the brotherhood is what it is all about. The big parties are less fun and less memorable than the time spent with your brothers and the lifelong firendships that are made.

Hey, way cool response and post!

If one cannot be aligned with Brothers during and after Campus life then what the hell is there for us?

Thanks for posting this!
