I'm not the OP, but every time someone posts something about building new houses, you ALWAYS come here and spout some version of "you should be grateful, someone would love to even have a house" etc. etc. It's not a crime to want better things and it's not a bad thing to set goals and aspirations. Of course it's not going to be cheap or easy, but it's good to have goals in mind and start looking at the numbers. The fact of the matter is, a strong Greek Life attracts families with a lot of disposable income. These Greeks grow up to donate money back to their institutions and help the community years after graduation. There are a lot of well off, well educated families in Texas who are deciding whether to send their kids off to TCU/Baylor/SMU, the SEC schools, and/or UT/A&M. It's really competitive in the South to get the best Texas high schoolers and every advantage that we can muster we should take. I'd be really interested if someone ran the numbers though or if Panhellenic opened discussion on long-term plans to revitalize sorority row. We have AOPi now and they'll need a house if they're going to be competitive here. I wonder if we'd begin to see construction in 2018 and whether other houses will join in as well.
