Not Building the Sigma Chi Fraternity House
Since the properties along Bearkat Boulevard east of Sycamore Avenue are not owned by the university, they're not buildings of SHSU and this site doesn't document a lot of what happens out that way. We have, however, been interested in the rise of the fraternity houses springing up out that way in the last decade and a half.
The Theta Chi house was built first, in 2001, and was eventually followed by the Delta Tau Delta house in 2014. Last we knew, two or three other fraternities had either expressed an interest in owning land or actually did own land - such as Sigma Chi. In 2011 word got around to us that they were planning a house on Bearkat Boulevard, too.
