kansas state φβσ reclaims ancestral home

Its more common these days to hear about chapters losing their houses whether though financial or punitive misfortune, so it’s a nice ray of sunlight to read about a fraternity reclaiming a piece of their heritage. Phi Beta Sigma at Kansas State has completed a long-dreamed-of project of reacquiring and renovating the house erected by their Delta chapter back in 1917 as their first installation west of the Mississippi. Like so many other greeks, they lost the property during the riven years of the Great Depression and World War II, and it took considerable archival work to track it down. Now two brothers have already moved in, and they’re thinking about inviting in Extreme Makeover: Home Edition to further realize their vision. That’s historical preservation in the twenty-first century.
