Just curious - Has to do with U of I

Ali4Him · #1 08-16-2003, 07:51 AM

Just curious about this. Yes........I'm old; probably ancient as far as most of you are concerned. Anyway, I have wondered this for some time and have just now thought about trying to look something up. I was in the Kappa chapter of Alpha Xi Delta. I noticed that the U of I didn't have it anymore. What's going on with the house? It was/is beautiful. Did another sorority move in? If anyone knows, I would love to hear. Can't say that I'll be checking this site out too much. You know, mother of two, etc. Feel free to e-mail me at Ali4Him@hotmail.com Thanks!

Are you talking about U of Illinois?

Ali4Him · #3 08-17-2003, 09:47 PM

oops.....yes

I don't know anything about the U of I, but don't worry about feeling old! There are plenty of us here who are 30+, and a lot of moms here too.

Welcome!

I know a little bit about Alpha Xi Delta - I am marrying one next month! Anyway, I was trying to help you out but could not find anything about their departure on the school website - although, I didn't have a ton of time to search.

You may want to try: www.uillinois.edu and search from there.

Best of luck and please post your findings.

TFJ!!

These are both contact points to the Chicago North Shore Alumnae Association, of which the Kappa of Alpha Xi Delta belongs too.

Best of luck!

The chapter closed around '93 or '94. I think it was their location that really hurt them. I remember going there during rush in '92 and it was quite a hike from the next closest house.

All I know is that (according to the history), the house went on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989, so no matter who is there now, I imagine it's still beautiful!

And ours is gorgeous I just have to say. My chapter road tripped up to visit them when I was a pledge.

Our houses are pretty impressive, for the Midwest, at least. I can't think of anything on Michigan off the top of my head. At one point in time, we had over 130 HOUSED orgs., so a lot of them have been converted into apartments or bought by the university for other purposed. I don't think another org. has your house, though.

Ali,
Someone in the housing office at Alpha Zi HQ could probably tell you.

A fellow Illini here---

You might contact the Illinois Panhellenic office for more information...

www.uiuc.edu/ro/panhellenic

There are 30 sororities on campus now (up from 26 when I was there) but it doesn't look like any of them are in the Alpha Xi Delta house.

Hopes this helps--

ILL!

When were you there? Of the 30, only 20 are housed.

I pledged in the Fall of 85 as a sophomore and graduated in 88.
I have not forgotton how badly my feet hurt walking to 26 sororities over 2 days! Is Delta Beta your house?
