ATHENS, Ga. (AP) - UGA officials moved five fraternities from along South Lumpkin Street and plan to build new homes for the UGA School of Family and Consumer Sciences, the Terry College of Business and other academic buildings.

Contracts released by UGA last week show that the university paid Chi Phi fraternity $1.75 million to move from its house and Kappa Alpha got $600,000 to move out of a nearby residence.

The three other fraternities on South Lumpkin opted to move into
a new Greek Park on East Campus scheduled to done in the fall
instead of taking money from the school.

The school released contracts to the Athens Banner-Herald under
an open records request.
