House and lot selected!

Hello ladies,
The house has officially been chosen. It could not have gone any better for us last night. I have attached an artist rendering of our house and the lot layout. We are lot option 4. This is the 2nd closest lot towards campus (our first choice).

Here is the play by play. First round was chosen in order of when we arrived on campus. Alpha Gamma Delta chose first and they chose House option 2. We were next and chose our first choice for lot which was lot option 4. Chi Omega was third and they chose lot option 3. Then Delta Zeta went and chose house option 1. Second round was luck of the draw. Everyone's name went in a bowl and the first name drawn out was us. We chose our first choice for house which was house option 4. Then Chi Omega chose house option 3, Alpha Gamma Delta chose lot option 1 and Delta Zeta chose lot option 2.

We knew from the get go that Alpha Gam wanted House option 2 so that is why we decided to go for our first choice on lot. We chose our lot because it sits up higher than the others (it will still be higher after ground work is done), more convenient parking (no bottleneck problems), equal distance from dumpsters (didn't want too close because of smells) and we didn't want either end lot because of foot traffic and more risk for littering, vandalism, etc. We chose house option 4 as our first choice because of the grand entryway. The artist rendering does not do this house justice. It is amazing in person. The front has a huge rounded entry with curved concrete steps. This will make for beautiful pictures. We chose the patio style that is shown on the lot layouts with lot option 4. If you'll notice, we chose exactly what is pictured, lot 4 with house 4 with the half circle patio with a solid bench. Actually everyone got to pick their choice of patio and everyone chose the exact same patio design. I thought that was interesting.

The groundbreaking ceremony will be March 31st at 1:00 on our housing site. The luncheon is prior to the groundbreaking at noon in the Student Union Centennial Hall. Due to limited seating not everyone will be able to attend the luncheon. PLEASE try your best to attend the groundbreaking though. We would like the picture to be the 100 collegiates and 100+ alumnae.

Thank you everyone for your patience. This dream has finally come a reality. Move in date set for July 2013, first recruitment in the house will be Fall 2013. Exciting times! This also means that this fall will be the last recruitment in the suites. YAY! I hope everyone can come support our girls and say farewell to the University Hall AOII Suite.
