are we eligible to get houses now?
by: aubie's baeI heard a rumor that the woman who had been donating money to auburn to stop us from getting sorority houses recently passed away, so we are now able to get houses. does anyone think this could be happening soon? i've also heard that some sororities are already saving up to build houses

...money is the issue. I had heard that before. Not enough money in the alumnae base to support houses.

Remember, it has to be voted on by your whole sorority and agreed upon before it can even be suggested and then ALL the sororities must agree on it and THEN it is put to the school board. Financial problems with alumnae have nothing to do with it, after all, why would they care when a house got built? They wouldn't live there. There has to be land that is close by and all the groups must be able to purchase a lot so that means a LOT of property the school can locate on the campus. Where would that even be? There's a lot more that has to go into this than just "I want a house." Those of you on here who want one, it would be years before all this would come together...but perhaps YOU could help finance a house after you leave and get a job.

Confused about what Tri Sig has to do with this and "fairness"?? I've heard over and over it is about the lack of money here at Auburn.

Huh? What is this "fairness" you're referring to? Something needs to change, here. Dorms are not sorority houses. We are the only school around without them. Seems like we are always playing catch up to other schools

Pick up a green book (manual of information for NPC) Read the sections on Housing agreements. It's an all-or-none situation. Has nothing to do with a donor. We vote based on feedback from HQ and area delegates.

there is no old woman! You can look at the history of sorority houses in the papers...not the internet false facts. It has been voted on by the sororities before and voted down. You do realize that the property around Auburn is very expensive and the University does not want the houses far away, security issues. The Greek Panhellenic Director DOES NOT DECIDE anything about the housing...that is brought up by the sororities themselves and voted on. Please go back to your own school or if this is GR...go find another school to troll.

I do believe the lack of houses hurts our Greek life and impacts some girls decisions to attend Auburn. Wish we had them!

Dumb as doorknobs. We've told you guys repeatedly:
1. There is no old woman who donated money to Auburn.
2. This subject was put to a vote in recent years and was VOTED DOWN BY THE SORORITIES.
Houses will not happen. Please stop posting about it.

..as it really puts us below other schools with strong Greek Life. You can deny it/not want to admit it, but it's true.

Oh, you want a house? Get ready for your dues to quintuple...or more. Get ready for extra rules, such as being required to eat at the house for all meals, be at the house for many functions no matter the weather or your studies. Don't want to live in the house? Too bad, we have to fill it so everybody's required to live in.
Lots more. You guys have it good.

Every other school manages with the money. Not sure of your point? Goes back to what was said in another post--there must not be the resources at Auburn to afford houses.

The point is that if Auburn were to make the decision to go with houses rather than dorms, it would not be posted on Greek Rank first. It would be put to a vote - which happened and it was declined. Yes, all of the sororities voted it down. If in doubt, please go over to the Panhellenic office and ask about it. If houses were actually being discussed, it would be brought up in chapter meetings and a full review would be done. Feasibility studies, financial implications, etc. Greek Rank is not the source for information on houses.

What about UGA? Their average out of house dues are only $1100 according to their website. I think Alabamas are just so expensive because it includes a full meal plan for everyone

If Tennessee can go from just having a shared Panhellenic building to a sorority village, surely Auburn could do it.

But you don't have a single Panhellenic dorm - each sorority has a dorm with their name on it. Plus their rooms were designed to accommodate about 100 members tops, not the 200 they've grown to.

^^^ Up to 200 members each from 100? But I thought a poster higher-up said greek life here at Auburn is in a downward spiral? ; )

There is no old woman donating money. Never has been. Ever. This has been brought up and voted down.
Stop posting about it.
