While Greek life at NC State is continuously on the rise, housing is still behind in some aspects. So as I was looking for the worst Greek housing at NC State I didn’t have to look farther then Greek court. The current Greek court has been a part of our campus since the 1960s. So most of the houses have seen over 40 years of everyday living and parties. First off I eliminated all the sorority houses just for the sheer fact that girls take better care of their houses. Then I was left with the fraternity houses and Pi Kappa Alpha won the honor of worst house.
To set everything straight, I was looking for the worst Greek housing in aspect to living conditions. Pi Kappa Alpha was built in 1964 and has seen many changes throughout the years. From the outside the house does not appear to bad: as it has a huge front lawn, a volleyball court, and some nice landscaping. But upon entering the house the atmosphere changes a little bit. Upstairs there are numerous holes in the wall and stains of all colors that highlight the floor. The walls also appear as if they haven’t been painted in a couple years. While visiting the house, I asked a few brothers what their thoughts on the house where and some responses were interesting to say the least. Rhett Smith states, “I love living in the house, but I wish I didn’t have so many cockroaches as friends.” Many brothers said the massive amount of cockroaches living in the walls were the worst part about the house. As I was finishing my observations of the house I found the worst part of the house to be the bathrooms. There are no words to describe how disgusting everything from the showers to the urinals were.
The president Ben Bruning stated, “I can’t wait for the Greek court redevelopment to get started so we as a fraternity are able to move to a new house.” Pi Kappa Alpha is expected to be one of the first fraternities to relocate when the new houses are built. So as Pi Kappa Alpha wins the honor for worst house they wont have that honor for too much longer.
