A UI sorority is suing its insurance company for not covering damages it sustained after a tornado destroyed its house in April 2006.

Alpha Chi Omega filed the petition against Continental Casualty Co. on June 29. In the suit, the sorority contends that the company is in breach of contract, because its policy should have compensated for the damages. Continental Casuality has reimbursed none of the damages, according to the suit.

Alpha Chi Omega is asking the insurance company to pay for the damages.

The sorority is working on rebuilding its house at the original location, 828 E. Washington St. The estimated cost for the new house has been set at $4 million; the facility is scheduled to be completed by the fall of 2008.

The state of Iowa and the University of Iowa are appealing to the Iowa Supreme Court a Johnson County District Court decision awarding a former Iowa fraternity chapter more than $127,000.

The appeal, filed by the Iowa Attorney General’s Office, was sent to the Iowa Supreme Court, the Supreme Court clerk and the fraternity chapter’s attorneys this week.
