ALPHA DELTA PI HOUSE
Alpha Delta Pi Sorority Now Living in New House
Fifty-two Alpha Delta Pi's are now living in their new two-story contemporary home at 1600 Oxford road. The house was begun last spring and completed this summer in time for rush week, although some of the furnishings are still arriving.
The architect, Verner Smith, an associate professor of architecture at the University, combined contemporary and traditional style to form a transitional interior design. Aniques have been worked into the modern interior.
A replica of the sorority's pin inlaid in the tile floor may be seen as one walks up the long front walk and through the stainless steel door. The entire house is made from practical and indestructible materials.
To the left of the main entrance is the living room library, and sun room. The library is enclosed by wood paneling and at one end is a large fireplace surrounded by modern furniture.
An all stainless steel kitchen lies off of the dining room. Pulldown lights above each table and indirect lighting along each wall are features of the dining room. Each table is to have a Formica top, shaded to resemble maple wood.

The house has both a front and back stairway and a basement which extends the length of the house. In the basement is the chapter room, storage room, recreation room, laundry room, and heating plant.

Ranch oak furniture was bought for the living room, the rooms were repainted, an acoustic ceiling was put in the dining room, floors were refinished on the first floor, and shaving mirrors were put in the bathrooms surrounded by 42 plugs.

Chi Omega sorority added on dormitories to the upstairs and made living quarters out of the old dorms. Floors were retiled, rooms were painted, and several rooms were made out of the smaller ones.
Delta Delta Delta sorority built a sunken patio on the east side of their house. The patio is adjoined to the dining room by French doors. A brick wall and planters surround it.
The Phi Kappa Psi fraternity house was completely decorated throughout. Rooms were paned with mahogany and knotty pine stairs and an acoustic ceiling was added. General painting and recoloring was done on the exterior.
