Storrn leaves 600 greeks in dark
GREEKS from page 1
completely safe from power outages,
but power was restored to those
buildings relatively quickly. The
entire university lost power 11 p.m.
Saturday, but it was restored by 6
a.m. Sunday on both campuses.
Residence halls lost power again
from 2 a.m. to 4 a.m. Monday on City
Campus.
Katy Bryne, a senior child devel
opment studies major and Kappa
Alpha Theta member, said the uni
versity should have helped greek stu
dents because all greek houses are
considered university housing.
“We have to abide by all the rules
and regulations that university hous
ing has set forth just like any dorm,”
Bryne said. “The dorms did lose
electricity and heat, just like us. The
university helped them first. It’s
obvious the greek houses are not high
on the university’s priority lists.”
Glen Schumann, associate direc
tor for housing maintenance, said the
university is responsible for only four
greek houses - all near the Harper
Schramm-Smith Complex. All other
greek houses on both City and East
campuses are responsible for their
own power and heat.
“The four greek houses down by
Harper-Schramm-Smith are built by,
and leased by, the university, and are
considered official university hous
ing” Schumann said. “All of the other
houses are only approved university
housing, and they are on private
property and have private charters.”
Not knowing when power will be
restored to their houses, students
were beginning to worry about what
they are going to do about studying
and their classwork.
“A lot of the girls are concerned
about their classes,” said Millie
Louviere, house mother for Gamma
Phi Beta. “They do not know what
they are going to do if classes resume
and the house still does not have
power.”
Louviere said her main job has
been to be there for the residents.
“The girls are young,” Louviere
said. “When you are older like
myself, you have had the experience
and knowledge about what to do in
these type of situations. We have
been making the best of what we
have.”
Laura Cockson, a junior pre
occupational therapy major and
Gamma Phi Beta member, said many
women spent the night at parents’ or
friends’ homes.
“We were in the middle of an all
house slumber party when the power
went out late Saturday evening,”
Cockson said. “A lot of the girls sat
around and talked while some went
to bed. Everyone assumed that once
they woke up in the morning, power
would have been restored.”
The weather caused many greek
houses to cancel or postpone their
weekend activities. Alpha Omicron
Pi canceled its initiation ceremony
and activities Saturday; Phi Kappa
Psi Fraternity postponed its annual
philanthropy - Phi Psi 500 - for the
Lincoln Children’s Museum on
Sunday; and Kappa Alpha Theta was
not able to announce their upcoming
events and parties Monday night.
Alpha Chi Omega sorority can
celed its Monday night meeting
because the house did not have heat.
The decision to hold Monday night
meetings and chapter was at the dis
cretion of each individual house,
with many houses having informal
meetings and informal dinners.
Bryne said all the greek houses
have been gracious and all the gen
erosity proves how close the greek
community is. ,
“(Alpha Gamma Sigma) helped
clear away the tree limbs in our yard,
and Phi Psi helped scoop our walks
and cleared our driveway,” Bryne
said.
Several greek houses opened
their doors and invited members of
the houses without heat and power
into their houses. Delta Delta Delta,
Pi Beta Phi and Alpha Xi Delta soror
ities, and Alpha Tau Omega, Phi
Delta Theta and Sigma Alpha
Epsilon fraternities have all offered
homeless greeks places to sleep and
shower, as well as food.
