| "Fun fact: When the sorority quads were being built the University president had a daughter attending and ordered them to be built a mile away from the fraternity quads. Way back then, only women were primarily pursuing the humanities, while only men were pursuing science/medicine, thus the humanities/arts buildings are down south and the science buildings up north."
That's not the story I always heard. I heard it had to do with the city of Evanston insisting that living quarters of unmarried females be a mile away from living quarters of unmarried males. Think Frances Willard and WCTU and all that. I've never heard it be related to an insistence on the part of an NU president. |
