CAMPUS NEWS FEATURE GREEK VILLAGE New Housing Forum: Fore—ung Big ImprovemenB by summer thagard I WCnewsmagazine 2.0 Amidst Western Carolina University's collage of construction found throughout the campus, WCU is about to embark on a new project: a Greek village. "For the past three years, WCU has been working on the plans for an on-campus Greek village," said Ryan Williams, coordinator of Student Organizations and Greek Life. This Greek village, also known as "special-interest" housing, will be available to each of the 19 sororities and fraternities on campus. Williams worked to fine-tune plans this past summer, and they will be implemented within the next few months. "The completion date for this project is expected to be August 1, 2004," he said. SITE PLAN "The village will be built north of the bookstore and print shop on campus, near the driving range and walking trail," said Williams. It will consist of nine 20-bed units and two 16-bed units. It will also include the Multi-Organization Building, which will provide four six-bed units and two eight-bed units. The final building in the Greek village will be the Commons Building, which will be placed in the center of the special-interest housing. "This building is available to all of the chapters for their various functions, activities, and meetings," Williams said. It includes a large-capacity meeting room, a smaller conference room, a head advisor's living and office area, and laundry room. In front of the Commons Building will be a large courtyard. "All of the special-interest housing is specifically designed to fit the needs of sororities, fraternities, and all of the activities that they are involved in," Williams said. Each unit will be furnished with furniture, large storage space, air conditioning, heat, Ethernet connections, cooking facilities, a large living area for meetings and activities, and other basic amenities. The Multi-Organizational Building will provide the smaller chapters with the same privileges. Multiple sororities and/or fraternities will live in the same building, but will not have to share their designated living areas. "Though they will live in the same building, which some individuals are not fond of, each unit has been designed to remain separate and private from each other unit as best as possible," Williams said. GREEK HOUSING "Our sorority may not have the numbers or the money to have our own building, but we still consider this opportunity as an improvement from what we have available now and it is exciting to have a place that we can call our own," said Jamila Scott, member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated. Privacy has been seriously considered while developing this project. Each sorority and fraternity shares some of the same general characteristics and activities, but each has its own identity that sets it apart from every other Greek organization. "This identity is very important to the chapter and privacy is necessary in maintaining this, which is hard to do when housing is located in a dorm," Williams said. The special-interest housing will provide each chapter with its own living area, storage, and most importantly their own entrances. They will not have to share their premises unless they choose to do so. • "In order to better meet the needs of these sororities and fraternities, the cost to stay in this housing will exceed that of the dorm," Williams said. The maximum cost,' including all bills, will be no more than $400 per month. Each individual will hold his/her own housing contract that will extend for a 12-month lease, allowing him/her to stay the entire year. "Unlike the dorms, individuals will be allowed to stay through Christmas break, Spring break, and the Summer break, if desired," Williams said. Should an individual fail to pay rent, he/she, rather than the organization, will be held responsible for that money. For those individuals who are part of a Greek organization on these premises but do not reside there, a common space fee of $ 150 will be required each semester. Capstone Development has been chosen to launch this project. They have completed many complexes and projects in the past, including a Greek village at Southeastern Louisiana State University. "They work hand-in-hand with their contractors, which allows for a close relationship and a speedy project," Williams said. Preliminary commitments from each sorority and fraternity that intends on living in the special-interest housing were discussed over the summer with Williams. Final commitments must be given by the end of September. The general response from the chapters is positive, according to Williams. "The fraternities and sororities, especially the ones residing on WCU's campus, are excited and look forward to the much needed improvement of facilities available for their organizations," Williams said. "I feel that it is a great opportunity to bring the members of our sorority closer, while also allowing us to become more acquainted with the other Greek organizations," said Jennifer Gardner, member of the Delta Sigma Theta sorority.
