OUT WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE NEW Greek Row Gets Major Upgrade A s students drive past Oklahoma State University's historic Greek row, they may be surprised to see some big changes. Where the Sigma Nu fraternity house once stood for decades is now replaced by a wide patch of red dirt, a sign of the new house to come in fall 2022. Delta Tau Delta and Alpha Delta Pi both opened new houses this semester, in time for the centennial edition of America's Greatest Homecoming. Ryne Garrison '22, Delta Tau Delta president and industrial engineering and management senior, said the Delt house rebuilding process started 12 years ago, when many of the current members were still in kindergarten. "This was the alumni's vision, and they put so much work into the beginnings of this place that we just let them and our housemom run with it," Garrison said. "The pool table was definitely our idea, though." While the bright orange pool table is a key feature, the Delt house also comes complete with a shuffleboard table, fireplace, grand piano, study rooms, and more. Garrison said his favorite part of the new house is the spacious front porch. "Guys will play cornhole, ping pong, or all sorts of lawn games outside on the porch," Garrison said. "In the morning, it is the perfect spot to watch University Avenue come to life." On June 1, 2020, the 58-year-old previous Delt house was demolished, leaving the current members to reside in the old Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity house for the past year. "The [old] Pike house is a bit of a fixer upper, but we made the most of it, despite the lack of social spaces that we could enjoy together," Garrison said. "Our biggest issue was keeping morale up in such an unfamiliar home with a global pandemic going on, but our guys did great." This semester, Garrison said he is most looking forward to participating in Freshman Follies with the ladies of Alpha Delta Pi. "We have the two newest houses on campus, and I'm excited to see how we perform—and, more importantly, how much fun everyone has," Garrison said. Tanner Stark '22, Delta Tau Delta vice president and finance senior, said he is most excited for the Delta Tau Delta Carnival. "We have not been able to do the carnival for years; however, we now have the space and budget to bring it back," Stark said. "It will take place during Homecoming walk-arounds and is located in our parking lot. We're hoping to see a big turnout this year." Garrison gives a special thanks to all of the Delt alumni who helped make the new house possible. "From the guys who donated to those who built the house, we truly couldn't have done it without them," Garrison said.
