Sorority houses under construction

     Four sororities at UD-Chi Omega, Phi Sigma Sigma, Alpha Sigma
Alpha and Kappa Delta-will move this fall when construction is
complete on new homes being built by the University on the Laird
Campus, near the Pencader Residence Hall Complex.
     Each sorority will be given a 10-year lease, beginning Sept. 2,
1996, subject to renewal. Each of the facilities will accommodate 15
members.
     Sisters of Phi Sigma Sigma previously lived in a University house
on Orchard Road. This building will be vacated and another sorority,
yet to be determined, will move into the site. When that is done, 9 of
the 11 campus sororities will have their own housing.
     According to Tim Brooks, dean of students, "The University has
been interested in providing adequate housing for sororities, and the
construction of these new facilities is a major step in accomplishing
that goal."
