I’m told that last night there was a bit of housing drama going down. I may not be understanding all this correctly, but let’s see if I have most of the facts straight:

• AEPi is moving to a new house next semester after getting “legally evicted” by AEPhi, whatever that means. Something about a “valid option to live in” and “zoning issues” and blah blah whatever.

• After this happened there was some sort of bidding war with Pike for a new house which is next to DTD across from Geddes Arb enterance, and used to be the old Sig house

• AEPi won because their nationals bought the place for $20 million in cash (holy shit!) twenty minutes before Pike submitted their late bid. You got served

• The new house is supposed to be better than their old house (which isn't hard considering their old one sucked ass, no offense Ahor) and they’re putting $500,000 worth of renovations into it to make SURE it doesn't suck. Apparently nationals is pushing hard to make AEPi the super coolest frat on campus with this massive cash inflow. That’s all well and good, but you can’t buy a spot on The List.

• Actually, maybe you can. Hey AEPi, I’ll put you at number three for $5K. Come on, that’s only like 1% of your total budget! Think about it.

So anyways, this is a pretty big deal with all the housing shakeups going on. Now, Pike, SigEp, Sig and a few others are all looking for housing, and being that there are only a limited number of giant frat house mansions on campus, so I bet that’s probably going to suck. But I'm sure the burly men at Pike can just sit down in build a new house from scratch inside of a week. MAN POWER!

Once again, the best stories come from tips (read that Theta e-mail again if you don’t believe me) so keep ‘em coming hard and fast.

UPDATE: So in retrospect, $20 million is an absolutey absurd number. This is a $20M house, and last time I checked David Beckham wasn't in AEPi. What's the real number then, $1.5M?
