zeta house

Alabama has already rebuilt half of their houses. A new Zeta house is being built there this year. I just looked it up and they had a picture of what it will like. Wow.

You never hear or see anything about inside GPhi. What does it look like or do you know any pictures?

From the inside, GPhi' house is nicely decorated but feels kinda small (it's a lot of smaller conjoined rooms I instead of a larger common space). I liked their staircase during my recruitment.

Also, I think it'll be awhile before SK will be able to completely rebuild. They already spent a lot of money fixing and converting their house from a fraternity to a sorority. Their Nationals probably still needs to wait for the house to settle in and establish itself before throwing down more money.

Even though SK's house doesn't hold that many girls, it is beautiful! I hope if they ever rebuild they keep a similar structure. The house itself is pretty big it just needs more bedrooms... Maybe an expansion would be helpful? Not sure they have room though. I think it's a very pretty house inside and out, and the main level has plenty of space!
I agree APhi should get a new house, it's kind of cramped on the main level and a bigger open space rather than a lot of small rooms would help that even if they can't make it much bigger because of the lot.
I'd like all Mizzous houses to be more cohesive, I love the brick with columns look and don't love the white or all brick houses... But that's just a personal preference! Would love to see some of the houses updated to a more SEC style or at least all a more similar style

The SK housing situation is actually really ideal for them because it's competitive for the girls to try and live in house. My roomie was an SK and she was attending non-mandatory events, extra study hours, etc, to accumulate points in order to get a spot in house. Plus they can always fill their house. Can't say the same for other houses, who have to force Juniors to live in house.

KD needs a new house. My God, they're the first house on the street and it's just falling apart. They've still got that graffiti from two years ago on the brick and it's just all bad. They should re-do the entire thing.

I like AXO's house. I love that it looks like a little ginger bread house. The german cottage vibe is really working for me. Plus it's really nice on the inside, nothing falling apart. I know it's not a "classic" house but it is adorable.

Theta's house is fine too. Maybe in the next few years but for now it's got that classic look. I think Pi Phi's house needs a new coat of paint. It's looking a little shabby.

If you really are a PNM, I'm sure your questions will be answered if you are considering either house. There's really nothing to be confused about. You will have a place to live next year - either another house or a group of apartments. It's unlikely that all of those details are finalized yet so you may not know the specifics during recruitment. You could still live in your junior or senior year if interested. You will not be hit up for donations but will probably pay more monthly as has been the case for other houses that have rebuilt or renovated. You will still be able to enjoy the existing house this year and have 2 years to enjoy the brand new house for a lot of events even if you don't live in. Everything else about being in a house will stay the same - sisterhood, homecoming, socials, philanthropy, etc... There's no need for a "bait and switch" because there will plenty of PNMs who are interested in these chapters. It's an exciting time for both DG and Zeta and you could be a part of it.

Ok but keep in mind, at some point, those houses needed to be rebuilt. Just like DU, at some point, they had to stop living in that disease ridden hell hole. So while yes it does suck for your pledge class, it won't suck for your pledge daughter and her pledge daughter and so on. At some point, you have to stop letting people live in the shi.tty house and some pledge class is gonna have to give. If that means nobody great pledges this year, fine, but DG and zeta could be powerhouses in the following years because of a new house. Girls love pretty new things. So just keep that in mind :)

What about the last three - Phi Mu, ZTA, Sigma?

I think Zeta is the same era at Theta and Gamma Phi. Pretty enough, but not architecturally significant. I really don't know much about the other two because they are not among the older sororities on campus and there isn't much written history about their houses. I think Phi Mu's house used to be a fraternity house at one point, wasn't it? And who can share something about Sigma. I don't mean to imply that most of the sorority houses on this campus aren't pretty or special. But many are not historically significant.

Sorry, I meant to say architecturally significant at the end, not historically.

Thanks funny - you are really knowledgeable on this topic!!

Zetas current house was actually farmhouses first house. Zeta actually owned the house behind Adpi.

Gphi's house was built in 1928. That's not exactly the late '60s, as you claim.

Zeta has a rich history on this campus and has a strong alumni network. I'm not surprised to hear about a new house because, contrary to the crap you read on this website, Zeta is thriving.

I'm not a DG or a Zeta but I am genuinely excited for both houses and the impact it will have on Greektown. I'm hoping that other houses ( especially mine - lol) will feel the need to rebuild or significantly remodel their houses to keep competitive on this campus. I'm not sure how recruitment will be this year for these 2 houses but next year they will definitely be a top choice for many.
