lettered houses
by: CuriousAfter being here for 2 semesters now i've been curious as to why there are so few lettered houses here at UD. At most schools the better the house the better fraternity. But here it doesn't seem to be the case as KA, Lambda, and KapSig are all completely different tiers. Is there a push to get more fraternities lettered or were there more at one point? Any input would be greatly appreciated

Lol maybe it wasn't when you were a freshman but that building was the ATO house at one point. Look up "udel ato" on google images, first result.

You both are right calm down. Yes that white house was ATO. But there was a little house next to it that was SAE that they tore down to expand that white house.
now kiss and make up.

Both were lettered houses in the past, prior to the law which was put into place fairly recently. This law exists because Newark hates greek life and wants to separate itself from the "fratty college party town" image. It's a damn shame, greek alums donate a lot of money to this school and now some of us in greek life can't enjoy the benefits of putting letters on our house.

both of those houses were owned by previous greek life.. for example the Gphi house now used to be AGR, therefore that house will always be allowed to have letters.

You also need to realize how much of a liability it is to have a lettered house on this campus. This isn't Ole Miss or Alabama. Each time KA, kappa sig, or lambda throws down in their lettered house is a huge risk and could spell sanctions or worse if anything bad happened. The school is out for blood when it comes to frats and having a house doesn't make that any easier to avoid. The fact the 3 of them still have their houses and haven't been booted yet is surprising in itself. Let's hope it stays that way, for the good of our struggling greek system as a whole.
