Move-In Day!

After a long and complex construction process, the members of the University of Chicago, Chi Upsilon chapter of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity recently celebrated their exciting move-in day to their new-and-improved home!  Through freezing rain, cold temperatures, two semi-trailers full of new furniture, a lot of sweat and with the help of lots of hot coffee and dozens of donuts, the students settled-into their home with smiles on their faces and excitement abound. Welcome to your new home gentlemen!

Some days we're architects, some days we're delivery drivers.  Every day we love what we do!
