Greek houses refurbished

other companies.
At least nine fraternity and sorority houses have decided to renovate their houses.
This summer, four greek houses finished improvements so members could move in by mid-August.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon, whose fraternity house was leveled Sep. 21,
1996, recently finished its $3.3 million construction project.
the chapter, the oldest at the University of Kansas, rebuilt its house using donations from alumni, said Brady Wagner, Sigma Alpha Epsilon president.
Epsilon pronouns:
"Obviously I associate the good times I had as a freshman with the house, so there's definitely nostalgia." Wagner said. "But this is great, too."
Wagner said the chapter added
handicapped access to a bathroom on each floor to meet building codes. The chapter also installed a new security system that reads ID cards and switched to sleeping quarters and study rooms, rather than just bedrooms.
One reason for the change was a tax break the chapter received for creating more space devoted to studying, Wagner said.
Kappa Sigma fraternity also completed a renovation process that began in June 1997 by spending $2.5 million to gut the house. It would have cost an additional $1 million to level the house, but alumni wanted to preserve the outside look.
James Howard, chapter president,
said the house added a new library,
TV room and dining room, along
with new carpet and furniture.
with new friends.
"We love it, it's incredible," Howard said. "Walking in the inside, you can't tell it's the same house."
you can learn the Sigma Kappa sorority finished renovation work that has been in the works for at least 10 years, said Lesley Walters, chapter president.
The $600,000 project, financed without alumni money, increased the size of the dining room , added room for 15 more residents and a new kitchen.
One reason Sigma Kappa remodeled was because of the house's need for a sprinkler system, Walters said.
While some chapters are finishing, others are beginning renovations.
Sigma Chi fraternity begins the most expensive renovation process at the University this October when foundation work begins.
Although minor changes were done about 10 years ago, the $3.5 million renovation will completely change the inside of the house.
change the history of the house.
Alumni members such as Phil Anschutz and Bud Adams are important benefactors in the process, said Greg O'Brien, chapter president.
Griffith Fraternity members will move out after first semester, but should be able to return August 1999.
All the rooms will have separate phone lines and Internet access.
