Information on House Situation

Brothers,

Today I had a meeting with our Greek Advisor, Crystal Sutter, and she has informed me that our Shelter House is deemed unsafe to live in. The head of maintenence informed her that the floors near the stairs going into the basement and the slant in the floor of the Brotherhood Lounge would need to be raised on jacks to keep them safe. If QU has enough money they will be adding our House to the list to be torn down over the summer of 2010. Now I don't know if they are doing this to save money over repairs or if it really is unsafe.

The school is offering two new potential house to be our new Shelter House. The corner house on Senior Row, the one closet to 20th St, the old Alpha Delta Gamma house to you older brothers (this would keep us close to the other Greek houses) or 915 N. 18th St., it is the blue house across from the brick houses. The blue house is the bigger of the two I believe.

In regards to the murals and class projects. It was recommended that we take photos of them to transfer to the new house or we blow them up and frame them. If some of the murals could be cut from the wall, we could frame those and keep a little bit of the old house with us.

For the members that will be here next year, you can take a straw pole and we can suggest which house we want and the QU administration will take that into consideration.

If you have any questions, please let me know so I can bring them up with Crystal at our next meeting.

Fraternally,
Mark Webb
Chapter President
