Animal House - as in pig sty

Some fraternity houses are, well, less than spic and span...
... University of Florida Greek housing is visibly out of date and old-fashioned.

But the extent of conditions within fraternity and sorority houses was largely indiscernible until a couple of consultants brought to light the unsavory conditions in a UF-commissioned study released during the summer.

Repeat offenders, with three or more "unsatisfactory" citations between 2000 and 2005, include Alpha Tau Omega, Beta Theta Pi, Lambda Chi Alpha, Phi Kappa Tau, Pi Kappa Phi and Sigma Phi Epsilon.

Pi Kappa Phi holds one of the worst track records, failing eight separate health inspections since 1998.

Between 1999 and 2004, Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity had at least one failed health inspection a year, with the exception of 2003.

Although his fraternity hasn't had a health inspection violation in the last eight years, Alpha Epsilon Pi Chapter President and Interfraternity Council Member Steven Blank said he would support the new advisory council and stressed the value of having an outside, unbiased voice working with a hands-on approach.

"The problem I see in the Greek community in general is your having 18, 19, 20-year-olds being landlords of a house of 50 or so guys," Blank said.
