At the University of Alabama, the Delta Zeta sorority house isn’t just a place to crash between classes — it’s a mansion with every amenity under the sun.
At the University of Alabama, Delta Zeta sorority members reside in a $17 million, 40,000-square-foot mansion featuring a grand staircase, a crystal chandelier and a custom leaded-glass window showcasing the sorority's emblem.
At the University of Alabama, the sorority housing arms race kicked off in 2012 and 2013, with the campus’s first $10 million house.Kappa Delta at Ole Miss opened a $13.3 million mansion in 2020, and in 2022, Alpha Chi Omega at the University of Oklahoma unveiled a $12.7 million stunner. Texas A&M’s Tri Delta chapter is already planning to up the ante with a $15 million replacement for its 1984 house, set to debut in 2026.
Sorority houses have come a long way since their late 1800s origins. Today, these mansions are not just living quarters but social hubs, where meals, meetings and even “The Bachelor” watch parties take center stage. And they’re all over YouTube and TikTok, with Delta Zeta at Alabama tore down their old house in 2017 to make way for a new, 40,000-square-foot estate with room for 66 sorority members.
The competition to have the best sorority house is so fierce that even rising costs haven’t deterred these organizations. Still, some, like Alabama’s Sigma Kappa, have had to hit pause on their plans.
