Sorority Housing Behind the Scenes + Building Community Through Moves

Today on Sorority Chat, host Liz Alexander welcomes Liza Hallsten, Assistant Director of Housing for Pi Beta Phi and a longtime Alpha Chi Omega advisor, to discuss what it really takes to run and renovate sorority chapter homes. Liza shares how her experience as a volunteer, property-management professional, and housing leader informs decisions about safety, budgets, and major repairs in aging, complex facilities, and why housing operations involve far more than décor. She also explains how the wider fraternity/sorority housing community collaborates across organizations, and how shifting labor and material costs affect timelines and quotes. As a military spouse who has moved nine times in 15 years, Liza describes founding the Stars and Stripes alumni chapter to help military-connected sisters build friendships and support, and offers practical advice for finding community after a move.
