I was in a sorority in the mid to late 1980's that is being called an "old row" sorority above by bamapike. I can assure you in the 1980's "old row" referred to the location (University) of certain fraternity houses. "new row" was the location of Jefferson Avenue fraternity houses. Houses that were on University in the 1980s were Phi Delta Theta (used to be across the street from Phi Gam before stadium expansion), DKE (used to be across the street from where they are now before stadium expansion), Sigma Nu (same house), Phi Gam (same house), SAE (same house) and KA (just moved to new house). There was one outlier on University - Beta. They had a house that did not fit in architecturally with others - so they eventually got a new house in their same location. Every other fraternity was moved to Jefferson Avenue before the 1980's. Sometime in the early 1990's this co-ed "old row" thing started. Hope this helps and glad y'all are so interested in history! Roll Tide!
