The Zeta Zeta Chapter of Alpha Gamma Delta is proud to announce the addition of a house to the chapter which is located at twenty-one Elbridge Street. It has eleven bedrooms, three bathrooms and kitchens, and a chapter room. Each floor of the house has the luxury of an apartment, with the perks of access to the other two floors and having so many sisters so nearby. AGD's voluntary housing option allows for unity within the house and a place for the sisterhood to exist. Sisters are encouraged to spend time at the house with it's residents and use the chapter room and the other areas for study sessions, sleep overs, or just a place to hang out. The house includes a wraparound porch, hardwood floors, large bedrooms, and of course, the proudly displayed letters of the organization. Walking through the halls, you can see the pictures of every Zeta Zeta chapter member since the establishment of the chapter in 1980. The new house is the first for the chapter in several years.
The first house, sixteen Elbridge Street, was agreed upon by Student Government which agreed to have the house filled with only AGD sisters. They were restricted from putting up letters and from painting to create an AGD atmosphere. The sisters of AGD also had to buy a meal plan because it was considered a residence hall. Because of these factors, AGD decided they were not interested in residing there therefore WPI placed non-AGD residents in the house. AGD lived there for two years.
This, however, is the first opportunity to have an off campus house, allowing the sisters of AGD to stay over the summers, not have a school meal plan, and save money. The sisters of Alpha Gamma Delta are proud to call twenty-one Elbridge Street their new home.
