# New USC Sorority House Design Approved in Columbia

A city board recently approved the design for a new sorority house within the University of South Carolina’s Greek Village, marking a significant development for campus housing. The approval, granted at a September 16 meeting, paves the way for the demolition of the existing Delta Zeta sorority house and its replacement with a modern facility.

The University of South Carolina, a major anchor of Columbia’s higher education sector with its 40,200-student campus, continues to see investment in its infrastructure. The Greek Village, an integral part of the student experience for many, is undergoing revitalization efforts. This project reflects ongoing growth and modernization within the university’s residential offerings.

The decision by the city board allows the Delta Zeta chapter to proceed with plans to construct a new building that will better serve its members. Such projects contribute to the broader construction activity in Columbia, a city whose economy is also bolstered by state government employment, major healthcare providers like Prisma Health Midlands, and military installations such as Fort Jackson.

The Greek Village is located on the University of South Carolina campus, which is a key institution in the Midlands region. The development of new facilities like the Delta Zeta house is part of a larger trend of campus improvements aimed at enhancing student life and accommodating the university’s substantial student body and research enterprise.
