Fraternity has the comforts of home,but it has no house
Phi Delta Theta in Towers until new building is constructed
By Mark Fagan
Kansan staff writer
Members of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity are enjoying some things that other KU fraternities can only dream of, such as private kitchens, two-person bedrooms and central air conditioning.
But one big thing is missing: a house.
Eighty-nine Phil Delta are calling the Eightyawker Towne home this as they await completion of their 121 million house at 821 Edgehill Rd.
Aside from the obvious inconvenience, fraternity members choose to look at the brighter side of things.
The fraternity decided to build a new house this year instead of repairing its old one, which was found to be severely fire code violations last spring.
"We're not missing a beat over," Mark Laughlin, Endiz. Okla., junior, the fraternity's social chairman down the halles, and everyone leaves their doors open, just like at the house. I think it's going to work out.
Lambertz said the Towers, 1603 W 15th St., offered things that the house could not. Privacy is one of them.
"We have doors that lock, study desks in our rooms and our own private beds," he said. "We're not all sleeping in the in the sleeping dorm rooms."
The living arrangements brought about an unexpected bond between the two children, bridges last spring, a large class, according to Lambertz — despite the absence of a
"It really wasn't too hard motivate them," Lambertz, who was last year's rush chairman, said. "I told
I gave eight months of my life to it. It was almost an obsession for me to get it done.'

them it'd be an easy pledgeship, because they won't have many house duties.
Former KU athletic director
"And they don't. The pledges have much less work than usual," he said as a group of 15 pledges rambled through his apartment to collect a bag of garbage and deliver two "they're getting it pretty easy."
Because it had reached its housing capacity, the fraternity chose not to go through formal rush this fall.
One disadvantage of the new living arrangements, however, is that the Towers are University owned, and the schools are located in the school's strict alcohol policy
John Graham, assistant manager at the Towers, said the Phi Deltis had been notified of the rules and had not caused any problems.
"They know they're not supposed to have alcohol here, and I don't expect any real problems." he said. Lambertz knows it won't be easy.
"We've tried to keep a low profile on that," he said. "We haven't broken any rules thus far."
The solution is moving all the parties out-of-house. Lambert said, "We're going to have to be covered by an increased social fund, made possible by the lack of a bank."
The new house, which is now but a concrete foundation, will stand on the
same ground as the 64-year-old house demolished this spring. It will retain its walls and be able to handle three levels and should be considerably larger, said house manager Tim Hortons.
Hughes said the new house would have many improvements, including central air, a new computer room hooked up to the university's main building, and a modem bundled last spring by Jim McSwain. Lawrence fire chief Hughes said the old房子 could more be renovated, so it would cost-efficient to build a new one.
"We could have lived in the house another 20 or 30 years, but we always had problems that come up and need renovation," Hughes said. "The plan was to do one major renovation within five years, bad and dead, and we decided to rebuild it."
The $2.1 million project has financed by the fund-raising efforts of Monte Johnson, former KU athletic director and a KU Phi Delta College. He began his efforts last May and completed full time to raise the money.
"I gave eight months of my life to it," he said. "It was almost an obsession for me to get it done."
Johnson said that although the house should be completed by June 1, he still feels that it will be. He now spends about a fourth of his time raising a $400,000 maintenance fee.
"It doesn't do you any good to build a $2.1 million house and not have the money to take care of it," he said. "But our alumni realize that we have to make sure that everyone involved in meeting that need. We had have a tremendous response."
