During the recent razing of several sorority houses at Brenau University in Gainesville, students and alumni gathered in groups at times to snap photos and hopefully get a brick or other piece of memorabilia from the rubble. There was some sadness in seeing those buildings go as they provided a home away from home for so many young women for so many years. Sorority rushes and rituals, parties, “spade hunts” and other activities that bonded sisters in a way that has persisted through the years.
