Houses in the Works

[nate2512]

Running joke here is that with KA will save a lot of money on electricity being in our shadow.

Unfortunately they seem to have a problem with our new house, as windows keep getting mysteriously broken. No doubts though, we caught their president in the act once.

Not sure about a fireworks war, but the campus that the above houses are at Georgia Tech

[banditone]

Yup, it was that house/campus. It was a video on youtube with them in a war with a neighbor (maybe KE?).

Pretty badass. till the cops showed up. I'll try to find it.

shooting fireworks at a police car = bad idea

Pretty amazing house, here... http://www.illinipikes.com/
Check out the "Capital Campaign" link, go to the "news and information" tab and then select "Pike House Design" to see the elevation & floorplans.

Five full stories of living space and over 31,000 square feet. There are a whopping 59 single bedrooms in the house. Notice there is no party room. I think we will be seeing more of this in the future of Greek chapter houses - more personal space & ammenities, less focus on big parties that have trashed many of our houses over the years.

Check out their website. The house looks amazing. I love the combination of red brick and natural stone - quite stately and elegant. Building on a hill makes for an interesting four story view including the basement, deck and exterior staircase.

I feel bad for these women, they are far short of their fundraising goal. Too late to turn back now. Good luck, AXO!
