WOOHOO!!! Congratulations to her on the new roommate and bid!! Rough start, but it sounds like things are working out well for your DD! I bet building a colony and being a charter member will be right up her alley.

That house is breathtaking! I googled John Julian Wilkins, the second owner of the house, and found some interesting information about the house and his family.
Google Books link about the house. A couple other Greek houses are featured in this preview as well.
Looks like the man's grandson and his wife were members of Chi Phi and president of the Interfraternity Council and Kappa Kappa Gamma president, respectively. I'm sure they'd have been thrilled to know the house will host a sorority.

He was truly a BMOC during his era and went on to be just as successful in business and service in the Athens community.
I know several fraternities have been looking at this house on Milledge for years hoping to acquire it (including my own chapter a few years ago), but I had always heard that the owners wouldn't sell to a fraternity. So glad a sorority was able to obtain the property and looking forward to the complete restoration in the near future.

Thank you AZTheta. I will be happy to update the group and plan on sticking around. I wish I had known about this forum earlier. I hope to maybe even contribute to the group every now and then.
