While the exterior of TCU’s Greek housing has a cohesive style to match the rest of campus, each sorority was given the liberty to personalize its interior as it pleased with the help of alumni and other board members. TCU funded the majority of the project but allowed the chapters to purchase upgrades and personalize their houses with design elements. Many sororities incorporated their traditions and symbols into their designs; Kappa Kappa Gamma is clad in blue and blue, two lions guard Alpha Delta Pi’s entrance and Delta Gamma has an anchor rooted in their front yard. The new houses don’t just have personal touches though, many sorority women living in the houses said the new open chapter rooms and kitchens have allowed bonding opportunities with sisters. This is something you don’t get to do in a regular dorm, sophomore Kappa Alpha Theta member, Hailey Paul said. “Theta’s study room has comfy chairs and couches that are inviting and make all of us want to sit in there to have a social gathering to be able to help each other with school, as well as catch up on life,” Paul said. The chapter room is furnished with tables that allow Theta members to eat together like a family with comfortable couches nearby for sometimes watching a movie after dinner, Paul said.
