Panhellenic House

On April 24, 1968, the Trustees authorized the purchase of the Barkman property south of the old Haygood Stadium on Tenth Street, at a cost of $65,000. On July 16, 1968, Mrs. Georgia R. Ross and Fannie Rayne Russ deeded the property to Henderson. The property consisted of an antebellum home built by J. E. Barkman in 1860 on a lot 230 feet by 300 feet. The Trustees designated this home for use by the five sororities as their headquarters. The home then became the Panhellenic House; it contained “nine very large rooms." Upon the sororities' move to their new headquarters in the Panhellenic House in September, 1968, several rooms in Mooney Hall, which the five sororities had been using for their meetings, were available for administrative and faculty offices. The House later became the headquarters of the Alumni Association.
