Thank you, ladies!  I'm so excited for everyone! It's been great seeing girls wearing all their different Bid Day shirts around the quad.

Phi Sigma Sigma is moving into their old house where FIJI is currently at next school year (learned this from their presentation).
The following information are rumors I've heard: FIJI is moving back into their old house (where AZD is currently housed) and AZD is moving back to their old house (no clue where it is).

Alpha Xi Delta no longer owns their old house at U of I. And I'm all but certain the house they're in isn't wasn't Fiji, but a different fraternity.

The following is posted on Fiji's website: " The Chi Iota chapter has purchased a new house on the University of Illinois campus. Chi Iota has purchased the house on 201 E John Street Champaign, IL 61820. We are very excited to move into our new house in the Fall of 2014. Once again Fiji will be on John Street!"

Correct Alpha Xi Delta is in Phi Sigma Kappa's house NOT FIJI's. And also correct, we no longer own our old house. While it's a beautiful house, I'm very happy we were able to rent a house in Champaign. A lot more of the social stuff happens in Champaign opposed to Urbana (honestly, I don't think I ever stepped foot in Urbana except for classes of course) so I think having a house in Champaign was a huge benefit for a new chapter. Last I heard they we were hoping to stay in Champaign if possible whenever we vacate Phi Sigma Kappa's house.

I just looked a 201 E John because I could not come up with a mental picture of that intersection. I *THINK* Fiji is moving into former housing for students with disabilities. This also makes sense because as they year down the Six Pack (goodbye Forbes, *sniff*)and build new dorms, I know they were integrating disabled housing within the new dorms. Interesting!

EVERYONE in my family lived in Forbes: me, my brother, my cousin, my aunt and my dad's cousins wife! Oh and I suppose you should count my husband too
Very sad  It's called "The Ike" or something like that now. Garbage.

Is the Orange gone too? (I think officially named the Illini Orange - the snack shop between the six pack and Euclid?)

It was still standing but vacated during my freshman year ('06-'07). We had something called Late Night that was connected to Forbes.

I would have died of starvation without the Orange. This is too much to process right now.
