: There was one thing that the pledges or new mem- bers of all the fraternities and sororities on campus looked forward to with anticipation initiation. Initiation was a wel- :pme reward after all the hard ork during pledge term. Fi- nally, pledges became active [members in their respective fraternities or sororities. I felt more a part of the tradition in our sorority. I was excited to become an active member of the house, said sophomore economics major, Marni Kadish, member of Delta Zeta sorority. Initiation marked an important point in the days of a Greek student ' s life. It repre- sented the closure of the gap between new members and ac- tive members. The members were unified. It ' s the final integration process in the so- Irority. Initiation is the actual link from the chapter as a whole to the National Fraternity, said junior Andrea Finger, bi- ology major and member of Al- pha Chi Omega sorority. As the new members anxiously awaited their ini- tiation night, their suspense and excitement heightened. Most had no idea what was in store for them. In most chapters, active members were sworn to secrecy and secret m m mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmamimmmmm rituals People couldn ' t wait to end pledge term.

Most houses partook i a sacred ceremony and the held a huge party afterwards celebrate the special night. Film and video and corr puter science major Je Lawson, a member of Del Sigma Phi fraternity, describe his fraternity ' s initiation. It where the pledges learn secre and become full brothers. It very exciting for the brothe because the pledges you hav been dealing with for weeks a: finally brothers and everyone equal. Initiation day was held on different day for each fraternii and sorority. Some houses he their initiation in January even April, making for an e: tra-long pledge term.

I we ne on the move I- c Greek chapters seemed to come and go frequently. With the start of the 1990s Tri- angle, Sigma Alpha Mu, Zeta Tau Alpha, and Lambda Chi Alpha were some of the chap- ters to disappear from campus. However, other Greek chapters were quick to move into the newly vacated houses. Zoning in Ann Arbor was such that Greek organiza- tions could only occupy houses with an R2b zoning code cover- ing group housing, and there was a limited number of these houses available for occu- pancy. Therefore, the commu- ty, the University, co-ops, and private investors were competing with the Greeks for purchase of the same proper- ties. The Sigma Phi Epsilon house on South State Street burned down in 1995 and the University purchased the prop- erty and permanently removed the site from the number of houses which could legally hold a Greek chapter. The pool of potential Greek houses is shrinking and housing is getting harder to find, said LSA junior and FIKA member Brent Boncher. In addition, there are more and more Greek organizations coming onto campus. It was difficult to rezone a property to R2b because neighborhood organizations seemed to be anti-Greek. Complaints included noise, fire hazards, unkempt lawns, LOT WILL CLOSE ON 7-29- 96 Sigma Phi Epsilon ' s fraternity house was finally torn down last July after it caught fire in the fall of 1 994. The South State and Hill Streets with plans to turn it into a parking lot. and parties. Legislation an eity ordinances, including parking lot requirements and limits on square footage, cre- ated grief for many Greek chap- ters seeking new addresses. Since 1992 Pi Kappa Alpha had lived in two houses and because of growth, was look- ing to relocate to larger accom- modations. Pi Kappa Alpha occupied a house on Oxford Street and then relocated to Lambda Chi Alpha ' s old house at 1601 Washtenaw Ave. For the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity and others, the game of musica houses continued. Recently rechartered Delta Sigma Phi grew large enough to look for a house and settled into Triangle ' s old site on Washtenaw Avenue. An- other transition was Delta Ph Epsilon ' s move from 92C Baldwin to the old Zeta Tat Alpha house at 155C Washtenaw Ave. President o Delta Phi Epsilon, LSA sopho- more Allison Silverstein said We feel that having a new house has improved our image on campus. Alpha Sigm Phi who had occupied the house on Baldwin until 198 then moved back in. I think the biggest change we made was to paint the walls. Most of them were pale yellow, ' said LSA sophomore Gary Grochowski, president of Al pha Sigma Phi. The best feeling in the world was beinj able to put our letters on the front of the house. story by Dan Hennes | layout by Virginia Hiltz Virginia Hilt ITP Front row: Maria Jones, Amina Nelson, Petra Petway, Keisa Sterling Shamika Hinson, Michelle Thibodecux Not pictured: Patrice Petway, Dana Cubic, Tina Ramos, Mary Jones 260 + On The Move
