Interesting/scary facts of your sorority

[Speechpath]

This was always the story I heard too about the AGD house, I think she hung herself in that upstairs room that houses several girls. They swear it's haunted, but I think she's a nice ghost!

The beautiful AGD house is in the shape of a wedding cake..or used to be until remodeling. The house was a gift from a dad to his engaged daughter. I think the story does that fiance died and she killed herself in one of the rooms. There seems to be strange voices and happenings at time..I think her name is Susie.

Sisters who live in the room tend to get engaged while living in the room.. An UGA AGD might want to provide better details..

This isn't Greek nor ghost related, but at Auburn, they supposedly chained off all of the outside stairs of the Haley Center leading up to the fourth floor because too many people would jump off the side of the stairs to their death.

Here's a creepy one and there's actually a book about it called The Michigan Murders. A man named John Norman Collins- who is rumored to have been a Theta Chi (they're not on our campus anymore..hmmmm) killed 7 women in the Ann Arbor- Ypsilanti area between 1967 and 1969. I'm not sure if any of them were sorority women though, but at least one was an EMU student. He was arrested in 1969 at the age of 21. I read the book and it's really scary to know exactly where the places are that bodies were found and stuff. I think he actually lived in a house down the street from our house! Scary!

yea, i was going to talk about this. one of my sisters did a big report on this for a history class i think and the house that they were murdered in is the green one on the corner of college place and emmit. i dont recall any sorority girls being murdered during this, but i do know that the house is right behind mine and there is a theta chi in the cement on the sidewalk right by the house. wierd.

I can't post the specific groups and/or schools these things happened at b/c unfortunately, they have been covered up & never once made the news or headlines. I know about these b/c I was there at the time, have a relative that attends the school, and have a significant other that works there.

At this particular California school (not mine), a dance major from a sorority was overwhelmed by the load she had at school and the obligations she had to her sorority so she hung herself in her room. It was during the winter break so her sisters were gone. A guy walking by happened to see what he thought was a girls shadow dancing by a window. He saw her three times before he mentioned it to campus security. When they checked the room, they found that she had hung herself. I know that to this day, people sometimes report seeing a girl dancing by the window. I do not know if the room is still in use or if the school & city really helped cover it up so no new students know what happened.

At the same school, a young man was seeking counseling for depression at the student health center. He waited all day but was never seen by any of the counselors so he left at closing time, walked to a bridge in the school, and jumped. The sad thing is that I know for a fact that the school denies he ever sought treatment when he was 100% definitely there looking for help. I hate this school & city but I can't say names or I'd get in trouble.

These events happened within 2 years of each other.

I dunno about that, but I know that's the reason it's so hard to get a key to outside the Eagle's Nest (the top of Haley around the 10th story, kind of like a balcony). At least that's what our guide told us at a campus tour session when it took him 10 minutes to get a key to the doors.

i checked out the ohio link that isubabe put up and i have to say that the miami ones are a bit off. yes we had a fisher hall and it was haunted, but not by the judge. and the story of the student who went missing happened in the 1930's not the 50's. fisher hall itself was not haunted. they found out when they went to demolish the building that it was a fraternity hazing "thing" to have the pledges go in to the students old room and put your letters on the wall. when the building was demolished they found this out and it explained a lot of the noises staff would hear in the building late at night.
the biggest thing about the hauntings at the now conference center is that the ghost used to run through the gardens singing many years ago. i guess that stopped shortly after the conference center was completed. but i know from personal experience it is haunted. i've encountered the ghost in the garden. i posted that story a while ago.
as for the murders and such, don't know if that's all that accurate either. i'd have to check the school records. wilson hall though is true. i've heard that it was used as an asylum years before it was a tb hospital. it's now an all boys hall, but definatley haunted.
ok, that's my two cents.

i didn't think they were all accurate, i just thought the site was interesting and thought i'd share it with everyone.
oh, it's LSUbabe by the way.

[Tom Earp]

SORRY lsubabe, that is not the way it is posted on your left side fact listing!

So evidently you screwed up and you are being listed as such.

That is why people are addressing you as such!

[lsubabe1983]

[alphaiota]

lol@shelly.
i was just suprised that there was soo much that was haunted there!
it makes sense, i've just never really paid attention!

[nhpgator]

just a quick correction - AOII is not banned at FSU... and most of the facts in the quote, although interesting, are untrue... but the stories seem to be fun for most to tell.... and I too am proud to be a Florida Gator and AOII!!!

it's pretty fun around halloween at miami. dr. shriver (former dean or something) tells tales of miami hauntings at shriver center (yes, named after him). i went my freshman year and i thought it was pretty cool.
now one story that isn't on campus, but in oxford is the story of the motorcycle ghost. if you go out this country road past the football stadium, you will come to this bend in the road. you are suppose to park your car on the side of the road, turn off your head lights, wait 1 minute and then honk your horn three times in a row. then you wait for about 5 minutes and you are suppose to be able to see the ghost of a guy who died in a motorcycle accident on that road. supposedly you see him drive right through your car and into a corn field. i tried this probably 6 times throughout my 4yrs at miami and never once did i see squat. but it's a fun story and we did scare ourselves silly trying it. lol
