Life is Suite on the Row!

The Alpha Chi Omega house is the 3rd house on Greek Row. The house includes 21 individual bedrooms, a kitchen, laundry room, study room, and more!
New letters were added to the house this summer thanks to headquarters.
MTSU's typical dorms are made with cinderblock walls making it impossible to decorate. In House 3, the residents are given the freedom to hang things in their rooms or in their 4- person "pods" with tacks, nails, or small screws.
Alpha Chi's house on the row is unique as every resident gets their own bedrooms, so no awkward random roommate situations have to occur. While other houses have a couple single rooms and mostly doubles, Alpha Chi only has singles.

While residents don't share individual bedrooms in House 3, 4 residents share a living room and bathroom. This is called a pod. House 3 resembles apartments more than dorms in my opinion, the kitchen just happens to be on the first floor.

From the 3rd floor, the roof is semi- accessible.
Fun fact! Alpha Chi Omega officially owns this property, allowing MTSU to lease rooms out to students. The sorority bought the house from it's previous owners, Kappa Alpha, a (now off- campus) fraternity. The house still has some hints to the fraternity such as the basketball hoop out back, and the KA engraved into the foyer floor.
The back of the house is equipped with a basketball hoop and two porch swings
The side of the house has a lovely set of patio furniture brought to us by headquarters accompanied by a fireplace we're not allowed to use according to MTSU <3
This furniture is never used as it is ugly and somehow always wet!
On the third floor of the house, the study room includes a printer, white boards, and comfortable seating for weekly study nights or just some peace and quiet and a place to do homework.
