The remainder of the money came from the Lincoln Lancaster Habitat for Humanity. Founded at NU in 1991, Habitat for Humanity had previously done two main service projects to raise money to help the county organization. This was the first year the student chapter took on the job of sponsoring a house of its own. Student volunteers did most of the construction work. Stone said one of the main ideas on this house was to promote unity on the NU campus.
Students talk about the tension between the greeks, residence halls and off-campus students.
We are hoping to promote a project that would get all sorts of groups on the NU campus to work together. Dubs said support of the whole campus and community would be needed in the years to come. We didn't want this project to be looked at as our campus chapter's house. That's how we conceptualize it and how we really want to be promoting it in the future. The group members said they hope to dedicate another house next year at this time.
