no problem :rolleyes:

Of course, I am biased, but I like Maryland's "fraternity" row (there are 3 sororities on "fraternity" row, mine included). I'll qualify that to say that the individual houses themselves are nothing extraordinary (they only house 33 members and 11 of 14 are the exact same on the outside and inside, and the other 3 are not dramatically different to the casual observer), but I like the look of the row as a unit. The houses are very classic looking, red brick, white columns. When you drive down route 1, it's the prototypical Greek row.

As for schools with gorgeous Greek housing with which I am familiar (familiar as in I've seen pictures--wish I could see them in person), my favorites are the University of Washington and Illinois. They are all so beautiful and historic with unique architecture and a variety of styles.

UF's Panhellenic Drives are beautiful. Most of the NPC sorority houses are together.

FSU's sorority houses are physically bigger than those at UF, but they are more spread out among regular streets.

UGA's sorority houses are spread out in a V arrangement among 2 or so streets. Some of them are quite nice.

Rows, or villages. Whatever. I like the layout of these two:

Middle Tennessee fraternity row:

South Carolina greek village:

I am partial to LSU and the lake, also. There's nothning like spending a day on and around the lakes walking up and down the row looking at the pretty houses. I love it!!!! i think it's something that anyone should do whether you're a greek or not.

Ohio State's 15th Street is really pretty. It's about three blocks of fraternity/sorority houses. Purdue and IU also have nice greek rows.

I'm particularly fond of 530 S. Milledge Ave...who doesn't LOVE the newly painted wedding cake house ;)

I am going to Gainesville this weekend so I'll have to check out their houses!

I think though, and I've seen these in person:

LSU
Ole Miss
Alabama
UGA

Then just from seeing the pictures online:

South Carolina
Illinois
FSU

I also like some of the houses at Berkeley, I'm not sure if it's really a "row," though.

Rows I've seen;

Illinois
IA State
Iowa (not the best, but old)
Northwestern (unique)
Minnesota (pretty nice)

Rows I'm surprised haven't been mentioned:

Oklahoma (huge houses)
Oklahoma State (huge houses)
Mizzou (huge houses)

violetpretty... i agree. I go to american and we don't have housing. So its fun when we head out to the University Shop at MD just to drive down greek row and wish we had houses. lol.

Not to be a homer... Florida State

Oklahoma State has beautiful and very well maintained houses with diverse architecture, but they are scattered over a few different blocks with clusters of two or three in a block or around the corner. They are all in one general area, but if they were all together it would be really impressive. There are some old, historic ones, some newer ones---and the architecture includes classical, modern, tudor and colonial.

OU also has beautiful houses--seriously big ones, too. Monsters, some of them.

I honestly don't know though how much of a good idea it is to be putting the houses in all brand new rows or villages...

I mean i don't know how it is at other universities adopting this idea, but at South Carolina the new village is a fantastic idea in theory and looks awesome with them all standing next to one another... BUT the university owns all of the land and monitors quite heavily about any kind of drinking on the ground levels. So pretty much no one goes all out decorating their houses for big parties.

If there is a party in a house its VERY low key, most fraternities just rent out bars here or venues to have parties in, other SEC schools i've been too got their houses messy and had hired security at their parties.

Its not necessarily a bad thing i just always imagined partying more in the house from i guess the stereotypes and images i had of fraternities before college... not to mention its WAY more expensive to rent out a bar.

Its almost like the houses are SO nice and big here at South Carolina that they are more like monuments that people just stay in and don't mess up, which is the exact opposite of the image each fraternity is actually representing lol, lets be honest here

I also really like College of Charleston, the victorians painted in pastel versions of the groups' colors.

My sister-in-law is an Alpha Gam from UGA. I love your sparkly front door...sigh....and the ferns on that pretty, pretty front porch. Oh, the times I've driven past that house and wished it was mine!:p
