‘Barrier Islands 101’: No easy answers for NC12, beach houses

Who owns the Sigma Nu house at NC State, and what will become of it?

Just one day after search warrants revealed details of evidence and allegations of hazing at NC State University’s Sigma Nu fraternity — which included cocaine use, hospitalizations, pledges being forced to eat vomit, and other disturbing details — the chapter was closed by the national fraternity. The fraternity cannot return to NC State for at least four years. At that point, a “return agreement” could be considered, according to the university . For now, a criminal investigation of the hazing and drug use at the fraternity is still underway . The brothers must move out by Tuesday afternoon. But of course, the imposing house once home to the university’s oldest fraternity still stands. You can even take a virtual 3D tour of its interior . But who owns the house, and what will become of it now that Sigma Nu is no longer operational at NC State? The house is owned by an alumni house corporation, according to Christopher Brenton, director of communications at the national Sigma Nu organization. Alumni house corporations are separate from both the local chapter and the national fraternity. They are operated by alumni from the university’s chapter, and act as landlords or property managers.

‘Blue wave,' Virginia Foxx election: What News & Observer readers talked about Nov. 2-8

Election week dominated the conversation at newsobserver.com. From a longtime Republican congresswoman hanging on by fewer than 100 votes to Democrats flipping the state House after 16 years, readers were talking online Nov. 2-8. Here are the five stories that had News & Observer readers talking last week, and where you can jump in. Virginia Foxx’s razor-thin loss Rep. Virginia Foxx, the 83-year-old Banner Elk Republican who chairs the powerful House Rules Committee, lost her reelection bid to Democrat Chuck Hubbard — but barely. With all precincts reporting in the 5th Congressional District, Hubbard led 48.7% to 48.66%, close enough for Foxx to call for a recount. »» Read the story, see the comments Is a blue wave sweeping NC’s congressional races? Heading into Election Day, politics reporter Danielle Battaglia broke down how President Donald Trump’s low approval ratings and shifting Cook Political Report ratings were putting Republican-drawn maps to the test. Districts once rated “solid Republican” — including those of Richard Hudson, Brad Knott and Foxx — had slid toward “likely Republican” or worse. Hudson and Knott lost their reelection races. »» Read the story, see the comments Meet NC’s new members of Congress With Republican incumbents Richard Hudson,

Here are the best-rated nursing homes in the Triangle, according to US News

Most seniors want to spend their remaining years in their homes. But, for many, that’s not always possible. People over the age of 65 are one of the fastest growing demographics in North Carolina, and some will need to rely on nursing homes, assisted living facilities and other senior care centers for help as they age. In 88 North Carolina counties, there are more people over the age of 60 than there are people under the age of 18, according to state data. U.S. News and World Report released its 2027 ratings of the best nursing homes on Tuesday, Nov. 10, with 78 nursing homes in North Carolina among the top of the 403 nursing homes rated by the company. Nursing homes, sometimes called skilled nursing homes, provide 24-hour medical care for long-term or short-term rehabilitative stays for people who need a high level of medical care. This is often the highest level of medical care a person can receive outside a hospital. Earlier this year, The News & Observer created a complete guide to finding a good senior care facility in the Raleigh area, including options besides nursing homes , checking facility inspections and key figures on local senior
