The University overall has enough current buildings on campus or that they own that should be utilized or purchased by this Sorority for use on campus and NOT inside a nearby village residential area. Leave residential housing for residents and student housing/fraternities on campus with no more campus 'creep' taking over more properties of the community.

Having a sorority in a purely residential neighborhood would be horribly disruptive, there are plenty of better places in which to have it that are more appropriate.

None of us would knowingly invite a sorority or fraternity of 118 members to take up residence next door in what has always been a single family house.

This should not be allowed to happen. Just like the bus should not be going down Northway Road.

I grew up at 522 Wyckoff and still consider it my home. I disapprove of the requested change of 520 Wyckoff Road very strongly.

It's a very small, quiet and historic village and the addition of a sorority will undoubtedly change the nature of the village. There is the potential that the sorority will generate noise which will affect the use and enjoyment of the village by the inhabitants. And the negative results of the establishment of the sorority will definitely affect the value of the properties in the village.

If you rezone this area to allow a sorority, there would be nothing stopping a fraternity house from moving in next. As someone who walked through a block of fraternity houses daily for 40 years, I'd be worried not just about noise but things like streets full of broken bottles.

As a former Real Estate Agent, I simply feel it's bad for property values in the neighborhood.

A sorority does not belong in a quiet residential area. Should be much closer to colleges. Do not make this house a sorority

I purposely purchased my home outside the fraternity/sorority belt with enough buffer for a neighborhood atmosphere to raise children. While we still get the sounds of party music on weekends, and things like occasional halloween pumpkins stolen, its still a lovely place to live. Expanding the belt will impact home prices. This is a much larger issue than just one sorority house. There will be others and we should have a stance or at least understand what we're getting into if the character of our corner of village is envision to change.
