Top Tier Sororities At University Of Alabama

The top Alabama Sorority houses ranked by size are Alpha Chi Omega and Gamma Phi Beta. NIC and NPC have spent over $200 million to build accommodations.

The University of Alabama has one of the largest numbers of sorority and fraternity groups with thousands of active members. Housing such a huge number of students in sorority housing is challenging and organizations associated with these sororities are spending millions to build mansions.

Here are the top 5 sorority houses based on their size at the University of Alabama.

1. Alpha Chi Omega (40,000 sq ft)

Alpha Chi Omega has the largest sorority house at the Univeristy of Alabama with an area of 40,000 sq ft.

The house was built in 2014 and features 38 bedrooms capable of sleeping 76 women. It also has several living spaces, a meeting room, locker facilities, a study area, and dens for the members to spend their time together.

In addition to the modern facilities and luxuries, both the internal and external architecture of the sorority house screams Greek style. It features ancient busts and a wooden harp on the wall to transport members back to the time of Hercules.

2. Gamma Phi Beta (40,000 sq ft)

Gamma Phi Beta ties with Alpha Chi Omega as it also has a sorority house covering 40,000 sq ft of total area.

The house was built from scratch starting in August 2013, it is capable of sleeping over 68 women and has a lot of wiggle room for interaction and bonding with one another. They even scraped the idea of suit style bathroom for building a hall-style bathroom where sororities can interact with one another for better bonding.

Gamma Phi Beta house is equipped with all the modern technologies as it was built recently and features several living rooms and quiet rooms for studying loaded with fluffy sofas. The dining room can accommodate 72 people at a time.

3. Pi Beta Phi (40,000 sq ft)

Pi Beta Phi also boasts a newly constructed 40,000 sq ft sorority home at the University of Alabama.

Their mansion is also part of the school's sorority and fraternity housing expansion initiated after the drastic rise in the members of the groups. The university is planning to build approximately equal-sized housing for all the groups to enjoy a relaxing home away from home.

Just like other mansions, the Pi Beta Phi sorority home also features all the modern luxuries combined with stainless white marble and huge chandeliers. The house is loaded with a dining area seating over 250 people and both formal and informal living spaces.

It is capable of sleeping 63 women on two residential floors and features a study area, library, and more. It also has a courtyard for outdoor seating.

4. Phi Mu (39,444 sq ft)

Phi Mu has a 39,444 sq ft mansion to house all the sorority sisters living on campus.

The building is one of the most expensive construction projects among other sorority homes and was completely at a total cost of $13 million, for the record it was under budget.

While it might not be the largest on the campus but it is surely one of the most expensive ones. The 13-million dollar sorority home is exactly as you expect it to be with a black grand piano in the hallway loaded with white marble and a chandelier from The Waldorf Astoria Hotel.

The mansion houses 68 women from the sorority and features multiple formal and informal living rooms scattered throughout the mansion.

5. Delta Gamma (34,800 sq ft)

Delta Gamma has a sorority house covering an area of 34,800 sq ft.

The fourth largest in the University of Alabama, it houses sisters from the Delta Gamma sorority. Although Delta Gamma mansion is not the one to have the largest living area among other sororities, I bet it does have the most chandeliers.

Just like other mansions at the University of Alabama, Delta Gamma mansion also has several social areas, formal and informal living rooms, a dining area with a seating capacity above 70 people, and more.
