When I first came to this place, this was the first thing I noticed; Huge houses with Greek letters on them. <br />
They probably appeared in the 70-these when they started to build out the school area and the college community grew. The American college culture has a tradition with so-called “fraternities” and “sororities”, which stands for “brotherhoods” and “sisterhoods”. The symbols/buildings were built for these groups. <br />
<br />
What do these symbols mean to you today? Are they understandable for someone outside of your own culture?<br />
When these houses start to appear, then you will know that you have entered the campus area. <br />
<br />
What do you think about sharing symbolic meanings of landscape?<br />
I think they are pretty to look at, although I think the size of them makes the area a little “cold” and un-welcoming for strangers. You somewhat feel like you always are close to step on someone else’s property.</div>Sara.c
