UGA Frats Paid To Move

The University of Georgia has paid two fraternities nearly $2.4 million to move to houses off-campus.  UGA officials moved five fraternities from along South Lumpkin Street and plan to build new homes for the UGA School of Family and Consumer Sciences, the Terry College of Business and other academic
buildings.  Contracts released by UGA last week show that the university paid Chi Phi fraternity $1.75 million to move from its house and Kappa Alpha got $600,000 to move out of a nearby residence.  The three other fraternities on South Lumpkin opted to move into a new Greek Park on East Campus scheduled to done in the fall instead of taking money from the school.  The school released contracts to the Athens Banner-Herald under an open records request.
