ato's house 2016

it's hard to say who will have the house next year. Here's a reasonable prediction about who might be in ATO's old place next year. Delta Chi has the best shot because of some strong alumni support, and numbers. ZBT and Sammies making plays on the house could be possible but that all depends on their current leases with existing houses. Also a landlord wouldn't let them out of their lease unless they could find someone else to move in (maybe D-Chi). Rumor is some off campus sororities are trying to make some plays. The problem with that is most of the 3 off campus ones have small nationals and no alumni support (as they are so new). Also many of the girls that joined these houses don't want to live in, either for personal reasons or financial (11K a year is the going rate on rent at ATO's with the lowest number living in, around 75-80). Most of these chapters never made any requirement to live in a sorority house and thus can't make them live in. Pike has no intentions of leasing as they plan on building in the upcoming years and leasing would simply cost way to much money and impact their future aspirations. Skulls is still having problems financially after losing their old house to D-Chi, and is low on numbers. I think in the end it will either be D-Chi or another already housed chapter with D-Chi moving into their old place. It will be interesting to see what happens, especially with Delts still being in trouble and rumors Acacia might be delayed in getting back on.
