WOW! The Zeta house at East Carolina is amazing! So much character!

The ZTA house used to be the old Sigma Tau Gamma House

I have a friend from high school and a cousin who are Greek at ECU. I visited them this past semester, many of their houses are beautiful! In person, I thought Zeta had the nicest house, but my cousin said it was in a not-so-nice neighborhood. I liked that many of the houses offered parking though (at my school, DG is the only sorority with parking for in-house girls).

Wow. So, at you at your school, where do you park if you live in the houses? Every sorority at my school had parking.

All the sorority houses are within 1 or 2 blocks of each other, with the exception of DG, who is located near the top of a hill and therefore are really lucky to have their own parking lot! Girls who live in the houses close to each other tend to park at a church nearby that rents out about 50 extra spaces for $60 a month (what I did when I lived in the house), or at a nearby convenience store parking lot that also rents by the month (not sure of the cost). There's also a parking garage a couple blocks away that charges $500 a semester to park there. For most of these places, you need to get your name on a list about 6 or 7 months in advance. Street parking is also available but it's nearly impossible to get a spot, then you have to pay the meter.
I think all the fraternities have parking behind their houses, but they're not nice, paved, clearly marked parking lots. It's more like a park where you can, block people in, pray your car doesn't get hit, type of thing.

Reading The Tomahawk, I l learned that Betty Crocker is an ADPi, the DDD badge is on the moon and one sorority won the Strive for Pie Award (should this be Pi?)

Wow. I went to a pretty large state school (26,000 undergrads) where (like WVU) parking sucks. Part of the appeal of sororities at my school is that all of the sororities have parking lots. We even allowed a limited number of girls who didn't live-in to part there for the year if Parking Services ran out of commuter passes or if girls couldn't afford them. I think a couple other sororities did this as well.

The fraternities weren't so lucky. Most of them didn't have parking. If they did, it was the kind you described above (everybody parks like an asshole and prays their car doesn't get hit).

More houses won the strive for pi award, but they were the only ones who chose to include it. and its hardly an award though, a sorority can be recognized every semester for making "Pi." and actually we voted on raising the gpa to 3.16 which makes the tagline useless.
