Part Four: Deltas Get to Know the Neighbors

This is Part Four of a five-part series dedicated to revealing the juicy story behind the making of Tri-delta’s new house on Sorority Row.

Tri-Deltas knew that their new neighborhood would be different, but they were in no way prepared for what came next. According to OTR’s source, the neighborhood surrounding Georgia Seagle Hall was unsafe for a house full of 50 young women.

The next-door-neighbors were robbed and beaten in their home by four men who were arrested in the GSH parking lot while sisters looked on.

The girls were frequently hassled by panhandlers; one afternoon a sister even found a bum asleep just outside GSH property, passed out next to an empty bottle of alcohol.

An abandoned house that went up in flames one day was supposedly a deliberate act committed by “some random hippies” (squatters) “who were angry when [local residents] called the cops and made them leave.”

A loiterer was arrested for exposing himself to bystanders, including a Tri-Delt sister, who is now involved in his trial.

Worst of all, Tri-Deltas lived next door to Lil' Champ, and were often awoken in the night to what they referred to as "car shows"--dozens of cars would arrive at once to Lil' Champs parking lot, blaring bass and causing general commotion. This frequent crowd was later linked to a known prostitution ring that also works out of Krispy Kreme on 13th Street.

Once a brave Tri-Delta ventured outside to get a closer look at the action. A scantily-clad woman noticed her immediately and screamed, "Get back in your house, bitch!"

Tri-Deltas had a security guard every day from seven p.m. to seven a.m., but they continually fired and hired new security companies after finding security ‘guards’ asleep on the front porch, watching TV, or inappropriately pursuing the girls.

GSH is now home to the members of Zeta Beta Tau, who hopefully won’t have to worry about getting hit on by their security guards.
