The problem, as I understand it, is that at UT Austin the housing situation is a non starter (no go). The land cost and taxes make it near impossible to get a structure if you do not already have one. A housing plan is a definite must-have for our expansion plans. Sigma Nu doesn't require you have a house/land - but there has to be a feasible plan for sometime in the future.

The alumni support should still be there, as that was a pretty darn big chapter. I show their total initiated members at a whopping 2,055 (including Jon Hamm - Upsilon #1991).

I'm pretty sure the location/house that Kappa Sig is currently in used to be Sigma Nu's chapter house. Not sure of the circumstances behind the change of ownership - but thinking they probably want a do-over on the sale of that property.

Perhaps the thinking was they would be off-campus for good after they were removed (as I remember some of the details, and it was a REALLY bad situation....)
