Delta Gamma at Bama - Page 4

On a related note, I wondered why the SDT at Bama is so small relative to the others. Even though they don't participate in formal recruitment, I figured they would have larger classes than they do, given how big Greek life is there. Is the chapter just smaller by choice?

I believe that they do retain much of the sorority's original Jewish focus.

You mean as in this spring? Will they rush out of a fraternity house during construction?

I had heard there were major roof problems, too, with the Delta Delta Delta house.
They're building an entirely new house in a different location, so I doubt they will permanently move out this spring and have a full year with no house...of course, maybe one of the other groups has already bought their house...we need Zillini!

Most Tri Delts I know hate the house! It is, however, unique and memorable. And really, a pretty structure.

Ah. Do you know if they have a house? I thought they did, but looking at their website again, I'm not sure.

No, SDT does not have another house. Never have had another.

As for Tri Delta, they have a lot for the new house and had wanted to start construction this summer but lack of approval by the UA BOT may have pushed that out. The last I heard, only DG and AGD were in line for full approval.

And they've had issues with that house for years. The flat roof leaks a lot and there is no way to add on/reconfigure beyond what they already have. I'm sure they'll be breaking ground soon. They need relief!

I've always wondered what shape the bedrooms were in the Tri Delt house. We had round dorms at the U of Hawaii and the rooms were kind of shaped like a pie slice.

Silly question about colonization- what do their quotas look like? I heard somewhere that a colony is allowed to take on more girls to firmly establish themselves, is that true? Do colonies take a good number of upperclassmen?

It depends -- sometimes they are allowed to go over total and pledge average chapter size, for example. I think most groups choose new members from all classes -- It makes sense, so they entire group doesn't graduate at the same time.

^^^Yeah, colonies will typically take a cross section of classes so that the make-up of the colony is similar to the other chapters on campus.

Speaking of Bama houses, apparently Alpha Phi is also getting a new house?

I wanna see what our house is gonna look like.

The DG house is BREATHTAKING! Absolutely gorgeous!

ADPi is still working on their plans...last I heard in March.

I know this thread is celebrating the new DG house, but since we're talking about new houses:

The new Alpha Gamma Delta house. The new houses on Magnolia Drive will rival the school president's mansion in size!
