MACEY DAVIS/THE DAILY

Construction is still under way at the Alpha Gamma Delta house Friday. After last January’s fire, the sorority has been without a house.

round midnight on Jan. 14, two days into Kylie Frisby’s term as Alpha Gamma Delta president, Frisby was standing on the lawn with her sorority sisters as their house burned.

“I was standing there looking at the house, and there was hundreds of sets of eyes on me, and I was like I don’t know what I’m doing either,” Frisby said. New to her position, Frisby quickly evacuated more than 60 women from the home, called 911 and kept everyone calm while their house, a hub for all things Alpha Gamma Delta, was on fire. At the time, Frisby was afraid, unsure of herself in her new position but still determined to hold everyone together. Now, almost eight months to the date the house caught on fire, Frisby and the women of Alpha Gamma Delta are still feeling the effects of the fire, many of them living in Cate Center instead of the house located at 930 Chautauqua Ave. And things aren’t that bad. Although the group’s mascot is a squirrel, the story of Alpha Gamma Delta’s house fire is more reminiscent of a phoenix, rising from the literal ashes of an attic fire. Since the fire, plans are in the works to renovate the Alpha Gamma Delta house to be the biggest sorority house on campus — at around 40,000 square feet. Even without a house, Alpha Gamma Delta’s pledge class clocked in at

Big plans for the ‘nut house’

Make an ‘L’ with your left hand. That’s pre-fire Alpha Gamma Delta house. Now hold up your right hand to make a backward ‘L.’ Put your hands together to form a ‘U.’ That’s post-fire Alpha Gamma Delta house, which should be completed in Sept. or Oct. of 2015, Frisby said. The renovation is projected to cost $6 million. The extension will add about 4,000 square feet to the house. Each new level — from basement to third floor — will add around 1,000 square feet, Frisby said. Ever ything about the h o u s e w i l l b e b i g g e r, including: • a larger chapter room that can seat about 300 people, which is almost the chapter total for the organization • bigger bathrooms and separate makeup rooms, so women aren’t using electronics near sinks • bigger dining room • a grand entrance in the center of the house — as opposed to the left — that opens to a staircase Bigger is better, Frisby said,

because the chapter was outgrowing its old house. If the house didn’t catch fire, prompting the renovation, Frisby said the organization would have outgrown its chapter room this year. “So it kind of worked in our benefit that way,” Frisby said, laughing.

Recruitment without a house

When fall greek recruitment began, the Alpha Gamma Delta women were ready, but their house still wasn’t. So much of what a sorority does is done within the house. It’s a hub of activity, from chapter meetings, to officer meetings, to study groups, to meals and group TV watching sessions — and

that’s just everyday living. Recruitment is a completely different scenario. The recruitment process is mostly ritual, from the way members line up to rally women to the house or the decorations they use. Without a house, the routine changed. “I was really worried because nothing was the same,” Frisby said. This recruitment, Alpha Gamma Delta used the Pi Kappa Phi house, arriving there early during work week and leaving late each night. Throughout recruitment, Alpha Gamma Delta women made the Pi Kappa Phi house their temporary home, even bringing in Mike, the cook from their old house.

CORRECTION: In Thursday’s edition of The Daily in a page one story about an OU associate professor discovering a new species of primate, we erroneously said OU associate professor Cameron Siler discovered a new species of primate while vacationing in the Philipines. He wasn’t vacationing when he found the primate. In the same story, we also erroneously stated that the Biodiversity Management Bureau in the Philippines can pass resolutions. They can’t. They can only gather information to present to governing bodies, which can then pass legislation.

Schueler said. “I think that they don’t realize sometimes that the state legislature is making laws that affect their life and they should be more involved.� For students who want to register to vote, SGA will table in the Oklahoma Memorial Union every Monday and Tuesday and will be available in their office from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. every weekday until the contest’s deadline. SGA will have forms for Oklahoma and Texas voter registration, and they can direct students from other states who want to register to the appropriate forms, Schueler said.

AGD: Sorority finds home in Cate Center, makes best of poor situation Continued from page 1 And Mike made all their favorite meals, which include such delicacies as breakfast scones and muffins — and squirty chicken. Sitting at a table in Oklahoma Memorial Union’s food court, Frisby turned to Alpha Gamma Delta pledges Brandi Fletcher and Tylynn Bourquin. “This is kind of gross,� Frisby said. “Did you guys ever hear about squirty chicken?� They hadn’t. Squirty chicken, colloquially known as chicken kiev, is one of Mike’s specialties. The chicken is rolled around in garlic butter, breaded and fried. It’s a staple of the Alpha Gamma Delta kitchen. Fletcher and Bourquin said that although Alpha Gamma Delta didn’t have a house when they went through recruitment, it didn’t bother them. They chose Alpha Gamma Delta because of the women they met, not because of the house they lived in — but the house they’ll have in the future certainly didn’t hurt their decision. “We’re going to be the biggest (sorority) house on campus. It’s the newest and the best,� Bourquin said. “I can brag about it.� Bourquin said she knew Alpha Gamma Delta was the house for her by the third day of recruitment, although she felt drawn to the house on day one. During the third day while watching Alpha Gamma D e l t a’s s k i t , B o u r q u i n was over whelme d w ith emotion.

“Live On, University� campaign to raise funds for improvements $500 million goal set for housing, updates and more DANA BRANHAM News Reporter @danabranham

OU President David Boren announced Friday a five-year, $500 million campaign to raise funds f o r s c h o l a r s h i p s, c a m pus updates and faculty endowments. The “Live On, University� campaign’s primary goal is to raise funds for student scholarships. Over the past four years, the amount of private scholarships has d ou b l e d , bu t t h e “ L i ve On, University� campaign

intends to add another $100 million to that number, Boren said. The campaign also intends to raise: • $25 million for classroom and laboratory updates • $20 million for housing for sophomores, juniors and seniors • Faculty endowments that combined total just over $34 million. Before closing his speech with the singing of the OU chant, Boren explained the meaning of the phrase “Live on, university,â€? which appears at the end of the chant. “These words at the end

of the chant, ‘Live on, university,’ they’re not words of assurance. They’re words of determination. They are words to which we are challenged. They challenge us that this university should live on, stronger, better and with more opportunities than ever before,� Boren said. Dana Branham branham.dana@gmail.com

the women university housing in places like Cate Center and Traditions Square Apartments, the months after the fire were hectic, Frisby said. Without the house, the women realized how much they relied on it. It was the place they received their mail, where they ate their favorite meals, where they studied. It was home, and they couldn’t go back. “Last semester was a hot mess, emphasis on the hot,� Frisby said. This semester is better. Around 60 Alpha Gamma Delta women live together in two Cate Center houses, Neill and McSpadden. Aside from the resident

advisers, the women have the first through fourth floors to themselves. Fr isby said it ’s w eird l i v i ng i n t h e re s i d e n c e halls again after her freshman year, but she feels more at home this semester than last, when she lived in Traditions Square Ap a r t m e nt s away f ro m many of the other Alpha Gamma Delta women. Like their old house, the women congregate in Cate Center even if they don’t live there. “ I ’ m a l w a y s t h e r e ,� Bourquin said.

A time for reflection

Frisby’s term as Alpha

Gamma Delta president started with a fire. However, it was Alpha Gamma Delta that helped Frisby become the type of person who could lead an organization through a fire. Thinking back on her time in Alpha Gamma Delta, Frisby said she remembers one day during recruitment very vividly, the day her soon-to-be sister’s mother, Jamie Harms, planted a seed in Frisby’s mind that Frisby couldn’t help but nurture. “On the second round of recruitment,� Frisby said. “When I was going through, someone said, ‘I could see you being a leader of this chapter in the future.’� Frisby had been in leadership positions before, but she was from a tiny high school, and didn’t feel like those positions on student council had much merit. Those feelings didn’t stop her from trying. Throughout her years in the sorority, because of the people she met and the opportunities she had because of it, she found the courage to step up and lead. A few years later when she was elected president, Harms called Frisby to say, “I told you so.� While Frisby will graduate before Alpha Gamma Delta’s new house is complete, she plans to be there when it opens. Fletcher and Bourquin plan to be there too, except they’ll be among the first women to live in what will be the largest sorority house at OU. “We’re going to make history,� Bourquin said.

FOOTBALL

Sooners win against Volunteers The fourth-ranked Sooners continued their hot start to the season Saturday as they took down the Tennessee Volunteers. Here are the top five takeaways from the Big 12 vs. SEC showdown. DILLON HOLLINGSWORTH • FOOTBALL BEAT REPORTER

1. DEFENSE DOESN’T DISAPPOINT 2. KNIGHT KNOWS THE SEC T

he Sooner defense has been impressive so far this season, and against its toughest opponent yet, it continued to be as good as advertised. Mike Stoops side managed three takeaways, including senior cornerback Julian Wilson’s 100 yard interception return for a touchdown. Tennessee quarterback Justin Worley was sacked five times. The Volunteers had negative rushing yards late into the third quarter before two big runs brought them into the positive.

CHRIS MICHIE/ THE DAILY

Cornerback Julian Wilson

S

ophomore quarterback Trevor Knight eclipsed 300 passing yards in a game for the second time in his career — the first since the Sugar Bowl win against Alabama, another SEC foe. Knight finished 20-33 with 308 yards and a touchdown and one hard luck interception. The pick came when a pass bounced off freshman receiver K.J. Young’s hands and landed in the arms of a Tennessee defender. Knight also picked up a touchdown with his legs, his second rushing touchdown of the season. The San Antonio native is starting to develop a reputation as a big game performer and an SEC destroyer.

4. AIRING IT OUT

I

t wasn’t the same show the three-headed monster in OU’s backfield put on in the first two games, but the Sooners picked up 146 yards on the ground against a much stiffer run defense than they had faced up to this point. Freshman Samaje Perine led the team with 67 yards and sophomore Keith Ford, who has established himself as the team’s feature back, picked up 56 yards and a touchdown.

Running back Samaje Perine

5. SOONERS READY FOR CONFERENCE PLAY

T

he first two games the Sooners played this season were highlighted by a monstrous rushing attack. Tennessee focused on taking that away Saturday. The Volunteers loaded the box and stuffed the run, putting pressure on Knight and daring him to beat them over the top. Knight accepted the challenge and made it happen with some help from his receivers. Junior Sterling Shepard had his second consecutive game of over 100 receiving yards as he picked up 109. Junior Durron Neal continued to establish himself as a reliable number two option and senior Blake Bell proved that he can be a receiving tight end. Ford also showed off his hands as he hauled in the team’s lone receiving touchdown.

CHRIS MICHIE/ THE DAILY

Wide receiver Sterling Shepard

OU performed as well as it could have hoped throughout its non-conference schedule. The Sooners compiled convincing wins against Louisiana Tech, Tulsa and Tennessee. Oklahoma’s hot start sets up well as it heads into a tough stretch of four games away from home. Taking down an opponent from another power conference is a solid way to close out the first portion of the season. The next step is a trip to Morgantown to open up Big 12 play against West Virginia.

The OU Symphony Orchestra rehearses Friday afternoon in Sharp Hall. The ensemble is preparing for its first concert at 8 p.m. tonight.

Performance will focus on German romanticism MICHELLE JOHNSTON Life & Arts Reporter

OU Symphony Orchestra will kick off its first concert of the academic year Monday with pieces from the German romantic era, one of music’s most popular periods. Individuals can buy tickets for the event at the Catlett Music Center box office. Tickets are $9 for adults and $5 for students, faculty and staff. The group will perform beginning at 8 p.m. in the center’s Sharp Concert Hall. OU Symphony Orchestra is composed of graduate and undergraduate students in the Weitzenhoffer Family College of Fine Arts. The group is designed to give student musicians experience performing, said Jonathan Shames, director of orchestral studies, music director and conductor. In the orchestra, members will learn techniques

that will help them play most types of music they’ll encounter in their professional lives, Shames said. The concert will include Johannes Brahms’ “Variations on a Theme of Haydn,� as well as the “First Symphony� — also known as the “Spring Symphony� — by Robert Schumann. Opening the program will be Sergei Prokofiev’s “Montagues and Capulets� from his ballet “Romeo and Juliet.� Shames will conduct the piece. “The program abounds in music of gorgeous melody, beautiful orchestral color and a kind of exalted excitement. The short work of Prokofiev’s with which we open the concert, his depiction of the Montagues and Capulets from ‘Romeo and Juliet,’ is a justly beloved work as well,� Shames said. The concert’s theme is the connection between Brahms and Schumann. Schumann and Brahms were great friends, and Schumann, the older of the two, did much to establish

Brahms’ career. Shames said their works are masterpieces of the Romantic Era. “Hearing two of their great works side by side allows us to experience the great similarities of these two friends and colleagues,� Shames said. P e rc u s s i o n p e r f o rmance senior Christian Parnell, an orchestra member, said students should come to the concert with an open mind and leave pre-conceived notions of the music they know at home. “The event gives you a chance to hear music you don’t get to hear much around this part of the country,� Parnell said. Tickets can be purchas e d at the Catlett Music Center box office. For more information on upcoming concerts, visit www.ou.edu/finearts/ music.

EDITORIAL

Club provides outlet for thought Our View: We believe SGA’s new book club will facilitate critical thought and exciting solutions for issues facing the U.S. We are fans of book clubs. In fact, we like everything they stand for. People coming together to build knowledge and understanding through the shared experience of reading the same book — what could be better? Which is why we’re excited about OU’s Student Government Association’s new initiative, “One Campus, One Book.” Most book clubs attract like-minded individuals or are limited to a group from the same generation. However, SGA’s book club is designed to allow a diverse group of participants and is open to all faculty, students and staff for a $5 sign-up fee. We believe this will allow for truly constructive discussion and are excited to hear the solutions generated by the group. The group will read “Time to Start Thinking: America in the Age of Descent” by Edward Luce, a book handpicked by OU President David Boren. The book is a critical look at the problems facing America, with each chapter representing a different issue, such as income inequality. Club participants will answer online discussion questions each week and there are no mandatory in-person meeting times, The Daily reported. While a book club without official meeting times may seem unorthodox, we believe it will actually be more effective in promoting organic discussion. Mandatory meeting times can turn anything into

a chore, even an optional book club. By promoting online discussion and voluntary group meetings, “One Campus, One Book” will encourage its members to contribute when they want to and have something passionate to say, not just to meet a participation requirement. The club begins Sept. 29 and people interested in participating can sign up on the “One Campus, One Book” website. After signing up and paying the $5 fee, participants can pick up the book at the Bizzell Memorial Library circulation desk. And seriously, even if you think book clubs aren’t your thing, you should give it a shot. How else can you get a $26 modern The Our View is the majority political science book for only $5? opinion of Furthermore, reading a complex The Daily’s text, like a book that takes on all of eight-member editorial board the major issues facing the U.S., is much more rewarding when you have an opportunity to step back and discuss the book with people who see the world differently than you. There are many book clubs at OU — such as the Honors College book clubs — that cater to members of specific groups. What’s so great about SGA’s TONY RAGLE/THE DAILY club is any member of the OU community can take part. And you do not need to be an English major to alike.
