time for change!
by: 2016AU greek life is held back by the stupid restrictions on sororities. It's the only large greek life school that doesn't allow sorority houses. It's high time that we get a sorority row!

It does make for a lesser sorority experience. I've visited friends at other schools where there are houses. It is amazing and very different from our dorms.

The lack of houses does change the sorority experience. I've been to a number of surrounding schools. The houses are amazing and the girls really enjoy living there and have a place to hang out. Our dorms are not the same--don't care what you say.

I couldn't agree more. Seeing some pictures from other schools recruitments. We should have houses!

It has nothing to do with financial worth. It was put out to the sororities several years back and it was voted down. (You can research that if you really care enough to look.) There is nothing that prevents a group from requesting a vote of all the groups to the school to petition for houses. Now, if that passed, where would you put them? Land around the school is now so expensive it would be difficult to locate an area that would be convenient for all the sororities to be close to the campus and therefore security becomes an issue and also for the school to have control over a site (and that is at all colleges.) Financially, the alumni of AU are quite well off as can be researched once more if you care to check so money is not the issue, but land on campus is. Also, I think we all know that anyone interested in coming to Auburn would know about this situation, so the posts are either GR, other schools or uninformed students.

All schools have the same "problems"--nothing unique to Auburn. Give me a real reason. I would guess land is cheaper in Auburn than most SEC cities. Auburn just doesn't have the right kind of community to support houses, I guess. Wish we had them.

Graduating and it would have been great to have them. Maybe it'll change someday for the better. War Eagle!

If one's marriage is in trouble one does not immediately have a baby to make the marriage "right" again.
If one's greek life is in trouble one does not hastily decide new housing is necessary just because "every other campus with greek life has them and houses will make us all right again".
Sincerely, how is our greek life "in trouble".

I agree we should be able to have sorority houses at AU. So many out of state kids are coming and want the "full experience" which in most parts of the country includes sorority houses. Bama has them and it is a big draw for them. Come on AU
