Chapter Houses

[RiverShell]

Hey there hot Sorority girls!

So I'm in the Gamma Phi Beta chapter at the University of California- Santa Cruz and I'm currently PRVP. My deal is, our chapter voted to "look into" getting a chapter house, but our campus is so anti-Greek there's no Row or anything. We're also the only Panhellenic and there's only one IFC fraternity (Theta Chi). So I'm kinda limited here in the support category.

So I was wondering how you guys got started at your schools? How do you start a chapter house?? Does it have to be huge, or can just a few girls live there? And I'd love to see pics of your houses too!

Any Suggestions??? Help!

Love, Shannon

Shannon,

You first need a House Corporation Board, any house will be owned by them. They will be the ones to handle all of the issues surrounding the house.

Have you talked with your Chapter Advisor or Province Collegiate Director? They can direct you to the right people at IH that will need to get involved.

GET A HOUSE CORP BOARD FIRST.

Do not do anything without a house corp board.

Please.

Don't rent from alumnae, don't rent from a landlord, don't buy, don't build, don't do anything without an HCB.
