What's your "Greek Town" like?
 

Hey everyone! I just wanted to know what everyone's "Greek Town" is like on their campus. I don't know what everyone calls it at their school, but anyway!

At my school, Mizzou, we have Fraternity Row and Greek Town. On Fraternity Row we have Beta Sigma Psi, KA, Sigma Chi, Beta Theta Pi, Ag Rho, FIJI, and Sigma Nu. Then we have Greek Town which is on the clear opposite side of campus. The way it is setup is that there are l4 fraternities at the bottom of the hill, then all the sororities, and then most of the rest of the fraternities at the top of the hill. My house however, used to be the old Lambda Chi house, so we are a sorority house surrounded by fraternities! We live at the bottom of the hill between Sig Ep and Farmhouse, with Pike and ATO behind us. Not that I am complaining about THAT hehe.

The rest of the sororities, DG, ADPi, Tri Delt, Kappa, Gammi Phi, Zeta, Alpha Chi, Theta, Chi O, Alpha Phi, Kappa Delta, Pi Phi, and Sigma Kappa are all pretty much bunched together towards the top of the hill. AKL, AEPi, and Ag Sig are mixed in there somewhere with all those sororites though. At the top of our hill we have Phi Kap, Delta Tau Delta, Sigma Pi, Delta Sig, and DU. Across the street from Greek Town we have Phi Psi, SAE, Phi Delt, Kappa Sig, and Delta Chi. Lamda Chi and Sig Tau are both colonies here I believe and they don't have houses, yet.

Whew! We're all pretty much bunched together, except for those on Fraternity Row, which is unfortunate because some of my fav fraternities are over there, but it is sooooooo far to walk! Hehehe. Anyway, let me hear about your campus's!!!

:cool: :D :p

At Montana State, the fraternity and sorority houses are pretty spread out. You could say that our house is on "fraternity row." Right across the street from us is Chi Omega, AOPi is about a block away, AGD, Kappa Sig, and Lambda Chi are about two blocks away, right next to campus. Pi Beta Phi and Pi Kappa Alpha are across the street from one another about a block and a half from our house in the opposite direction.

About five blocks toward the business section of town is Sigma Chi and SAE, and finally Alpha Gamma Rho and Sigma Nu are on "Greek Way", the location where the University would like us all to eventually relocate. Hope everyone was able to follow the slight disjoined description of our locations!

Our Greek Park is really small. We're supposed to add another section onto it but it will probably be years before it gets underway. Our Greek Park is a little street with entrances on either side. I'll do the line up of how the houses are laid out on the street:

Kappa Sigma.........Sigma Alpha Epsilon
Pi Beta Phi
Delta Delta Delta.........Kappa Delta
Zeta Tau Alpha......Alpha Delta Pi
Pi Kappa Alpha........Alpha Xi Delta

The col-de-sac:
Alpha Tau Omega (next to Kappa Sig)
Sigma Phi Epsilon (in back of Pi Phi)
Sigma Chi

ChiO, DG, Theta, Lambda Chi, FIJI, Beta, Phi Delt, DTD, AEPi, DU, TKE, Pi Kapp, and Lamba Theta Phi are without houses.

Here's a link to what the houses look like: http://pegasus.cc.ucf.edu/~ifc/map/greekrow.html

We have "Sorority Circle", where pretty much all sorority houses are located. Ash Ave. is the artery of the Greek System here at Iowa State.

Look at the map here:

gee...it must be nice to have houses and such.

My school, Spring Hill College, down in good ole Mobile, AL, doesn't have any at all. We only have 1000 students with three sororities and two fraternities.

We're ghetto at West Georgia. The six sororities (Alpha Gamma Delta, Chi Omega, Alpha Xi Delta, Kappa Delta, Phi Mu, and Delta Delta Delta) all share a dorm. Each has their own floor and it's like a mini house. We have lobbies and furniture and then the rooms, so it's actually nice. The fraternities are spread out. KA, Kappa sig, Chi Phi, and PIKE all have houses in a row. Pi Kappa Phi and ATO are WAAAAYYYY on down the street. Then sigma Nu is in the woods somewhere behind the campus. Delta Chi and TKE don't have houses.

Whats your"Greek Town" like?
 

what school do you go to? we only have 14 fraternities, and 7 sororities. It seems like the greek life there is huge!!!! Thats awesome, we only have one "frat row" on the edge of campus, with the river through the back yards, its pretty sweet.

Up until this upcoming year, all the fraternity and sorority "houses" have been what we call "down campus" (where all the upperclassmen lived, besides those of us in "living/learning" dorms like The Center for Womens' Leadership and Harter Hall) but this upcoming year the school purchased houses on the main road of the college for different organizations. All I know so far is Chi Omega got a house, and so did Kappa Sigma. Delta Sigma Phi is moving into Kappa Sigma's old house wing, and the other wing of the house is for the local fraternity (Phi Theta Phi). ZTA and Sigma Kappa are staying in their old house, and I'm sure Sigma Phi Epsilon is stayin in their old house. I have no idea if AXP or Alpha Xi Delta got houses... I'll have to see when I get back. People are already starting to call College Avenue "Fraternity Row." It's very exciting for a small school like ours! :D

At UMass, we have Frat Row, which is the area bounded by North Pleasant Street, Fearing Street, and Nutting Avenue. On North Pleasant (Amherst has four streets named Pleasant- North, South, and Mount), before the university's main gate, there's Lambda Chi Alpha, Alpha Delta Phi, Hillel (not really Greek, but they live down there so they get lumped in), Iota Gamma Upsilon, Sigma Delta Tau, Alpha Epsilon Phi, Sigma Alpha Mu, Delta Sigma Phi, Delta Upsilon (temporarily), and Alpha Tau Gamma. Past the main gate, there's Theta Chi and Phi Sigma Kappa. Philips Street comes off of North Pleasant- that's where Delta Zeta is. It runs by Allen St., where Sigma Kappa is, to Nutting Avenue, where you'll find Kappa Kappa Gamma and Alpha Chi Omega. On Nutting you'll also find the unofficial houses of Zeta Beta Tau and Pi Lambda Phi. Off Fearing St. on Sunset Ave. you'll find Omega Delta (that's me!). There are lots of private houses in the area, rented by either out-of-house Greeks or athletes (there's a swimming house, a rugby house, a football house, etc.).

There are three houses off the row. Delta Upsilon's old house was way up North Pleasant past the north gate of the university- it burnt down last fall, they're going to rebuild it. Off East Pleasant Street on Orchard Hill is Fraternity/Sorority Park, which the university created in the 60's to get the Greeks to leave the row- the row is in front of the main gate, so we're considered an eyesore. The only houses up there now are Chi Omega and SigEp. The rest of the land (enough for about 30 houses) is now freshman parking lots and a waste transfer station.

You can see us all on here: http://www.umass.edu/umhome/maps/images/map_detail.pdf My house is marked DC- it used to be Delta Chi, and they haven't updated the map.

No Greek Row or anything of that sort at my school. Fraternity houses are scattered in Boston, Cambridge, and a couple in Brookline. Some sororities have houses in Boston.

Piit State U Mine Alma Mater:

Broadway runs in the Front of Campus.
N to S PKA, SX, down a bit, ASA, LXA SPE, Down a bit AGD.

STG and Tri Sigma spread off, and PHI SK dont have a house but rent and appartment with most of the members there!

U Mo KC Spread all over!

William-Jewell, Soros have no houses,
Cul De Sac LXA, FIJI, and KA. SN had house there but unfortuniatl got the boot again for the 2 nd time in 3 years.

Ks U. Ks St U,Clustered in groups around Campus.

Centeral Mo. U in a Campus 8 sided mess, and a few around campus.

NW Mo U spread out around Campus.

Mo W U spread around the campus and near town.

St. Louis U. on campus.

Wouldnt it be great if we all had our own houses and could afford them? Have around the same size Chapters and did not have in fighting!

May we all live long and Prosper!:cool:

Actually Phi Delt, Lambda Chi, DU, FIJI, DTD, and Pi Kapp all have houses across the street from the university in the "ghetto." It's suprising you didn't know that, seeing recently IFC has been all about making sure those houses don't get to "wild."

at sdsu we are in the middle of a campus redevelopment.... right now all the fraternities are scattered around campus. however in the fall 8 of them will be in one central location---the new fraternity row. here is a map of the current fraternities:

http://www-rohan.sdsu.edu/~ifcsdsu1/map.jpg

here is the drawing from the website for the new row. there is 8 freestanding houses with a apartment complex in the middle:

WOW
 

My school was sooo small, we only had 5 soroities and 6 frats.

Zeta Tau Alpha
Chi Omega
Alpha Delta Pi
Alpha Gamma Delta
AOPi

Alpha Gamma Rho
Alpha Tau Omega
Kappa Alpha
Sigma Alpha Epsilon
Sigma Phi Epsilon
Pi Kappa Alpha


The soroities were all housed in lodges in Married Houseing and the frats were scattered through out the small town of Martin, Tennessee.

We don't have a Greek Village at the University of Akron....yet...

They have been doing a feasability study on setting one up. But many of us have a problem with it. Here is the way the houses are set up right now....

There is a block of houses that contains 3 streets and the houses of Phi Sigma Kappa, Sigma Nu, Alpha Gamma Delta (all on Carroll St.), Alpha Kappa Alpha, Kappa Kappa Gamma, FIJI, Alpha Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Alpha Delta Pi (on Spicer St.), and Lonestar and Theta Chi (on Vine St).
Then there are the houses on campus.....Phi Delta Theta (they are located on Spicer but not in that block), Delta Gamma, and Phi Tau (both are directly on campus...driveway leads into parking lots for both).
Tau Kappa Epsilon and Lambda Chi Alpha are off of Fir Hill which is right across the street from us. Delta Tau Delta is the farthest one away which is pretty much in the ghetto.

The problem with the whole Greek Village thing is that half of the chapters with houses are already in the block where they want this village. Then there are the 6 chapters not in that block which would have to move themselves into new houses. Honestly....we love our house and it's location. Plus the fact that DG has the best house on campus (according to everyone who sees it). TKE already has a new house in plan but it is for the area they are already in and they don't want to move, ditto with Lambda Chi.

So I guess I will keep everyone updated on what happens....let me know what you think about it.

At IU, the majority of Greek houses are on North Jordan Avenue and the North Jordan Extension, north of 10th Street. There's even a campus bus line serving them! There are several houses on East Third Street, on the southern edge of campus. Then there are a few houses off by themselves: Delta Gamma is on Jordan Avenue but way south of the other Jordan Ave. houses, right by the auditorium. Theta is on Woodlawn, a block from the union. Sigma Chi is on 7th Street, across from Dunn Meadow and near the union. Beta Theta Pi and AOPi used to be on 10th Street, but both those houses were closed. The new AOPi house is on the North Jordan Extension and the old house was sold to IU...it now houses the School of Informatics. The old Beta house is boarded up still, as far as I know, and the newly recolonized Beta is going to build another house.

The houses are all gigantic and gorgeous, too.

Re: What's your "Greek Town" like?
 

Currently, We have only two Fraternity Houses on Campus: Us and TKE. Theta Phi Alpha did have one but they Sold it.

Currently we have the "Greek Village" on the West side of campus. It was constructed by Mercer University and has 10 bedroom (2story) houses and 5 bedroom (1 story houses). NPC and IFC organizations have 10 rooms and NPHCs have 5 rooms (due to the extreme differences in chapter sizes). The houses are arranged in an H shape on non driving brick roads. They are very nice looking houses!

Pitt State Greek Life
 

Tom---Phi Sig's have moved to Broadway and now have their own house, which I must say is really nice.

johnny b.

Greek row (townhouses built last year by the U): Phi Psi, SigEp, KKG, DG, ADPi, PSK

Old Frat Row is (Non-University owned housing): TKE, Kap Sig, DTD, LCA (renting the house from Sigma Chi)

Being a tiny school with an active Greek life, each of our GLOs has a house, but we're a bit scattered. Until this year, we've had four fraternities (Delta Tau Delta, ATO, Delta Sigma Phi, Sigma Chi) and four sororities (Pi Beta Phi, Chi Omega, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Alpha Xi Delta), but our DTD chapter closed last Spring and our AXD chapter is closing in the Spring, leaving us with three and three.

Here's our lovely layout:

On the west side of Hillsdale St., my house (Pi Beta Phi) is situated way down at one end and the Sigma Chi and Alpha Xi houses are two blocks down and almost next door to each other. On the east side of the street, the Chi Omega house is on the next block down from us, as is the Kappa house. The ATO house is directly across from Sigma Chi, and the Delt Sig house is also in the east side, one block from ATO. Basically, we're spread out on one street over the entire length of campus, but you couldn't so much call it a "Greek Row" because there are other buildings, too.

Johnny B, I saw a House On Broadway when I was done for Homecoming but was told by some of the LX's that it was just a Rental house taht they were using!

I heard the SPE is in a world of hurt! As you know, we demoed our House and plan an building a new one!

I know that The Adm. wants to get their Paws on the ST house real bad, so keep an eye on them!!!!

Several years back, there was a thought of building a Greek Court way over on teh East sied of Campus to get Greeks off of Broadway and your House!

I went nuts! Ha, needless to say! Well with the state of the Economy that was dropped! Hell with the LXA, SX, PKA, SPE, ASA and AGD on Broadway, well except AGD, we were all close to Campus!

Be down In Feb 7 th Weekend, but sounds like a full schedual for me so prob wont have a chance to meet you! Will be staying in the Holiday Inn on North Side of Town!

Have a Happy Holiday Pitt Bro!:cool:

At SIUE, only two chapters have any housing: Alpha Phi Alpha has a ranch house on campus by the lake that used to be for the president back in the 60s, and the Sig Eps have an old school building that is HUGE, but needs a lot of $$$ to really fix up so it would be nice. The city has made it impossible for anyone else to get a house in town, and the upper-level administrators have no interest in building a Greek village on campus now. We are searching for a new chancellor though, so hopefully we'll get somebody more sympathetic to the cause!

re: greek town
 

Wow!
everyone has nice houses!!
we don't have houses, or even dorms for that matter...although 85% of my sisters live in the same court of apts...
all of the frats have a house somewhere scattered around the town. i think the crows are the only ones who actually own their house.

people even raised the idea of greek housing, got shot down real quick. i would love to see greek housing...one day. it would sure help with the housing crunch we're already having.

Bloomsburg University has a "sorority row" that has five or six of the school's 10 sorority houses, but most are not official houses. The town and greeks don't get along very well, as the town thinks all we do is party, but that's true many places.

shadokat, they have been watching to damn reruns of Animal House and Revenge of the Nerds!:D

It would be nice if some of the Local Stalwarts would get off of their Dead Asses and really see what Greeks do!

In mosts College Towns, if it werent for Greeks, High School Bands, Shriners, adn Horses! Damn few Floats. God what if they let the Mounted CowBoys/Girls lead the Parade!

What about the Thousands of Dollars that Greeks get for Charity Events!

I know, but what is need is more public relations with these people to show what we do!

Hey, how about small patio dinners inviting them over! Well not getting Drunk and acting stupid either!:D

Snow there, get the Chapters off of their asses and do some shoveling if the neighbors need it?

Yep, PR does a wonderful thing of salving teh Wounded Beast, The Neighbors!:cool:

I thought I'd ditto what Sister CardinalSM said & add a picture from the Mercer website.

This project was undertaken by the University with lots of private funding from alumni of all groups represented on campus.

Mercer University Greek Village, Macon GA

TTU Greeks (Cookeville, TN)
 

Ok, ok.... so my reply is SLIGHTY different. Until this year, it was illegal for sororities/women's fraternities to have chapter houses. "WHY?" You ask? hahahaha...

In Tennessee, any house with more than 5... yep.. FIVE... women living in it was considered a Brothel... a hooker house to be put bluntly. Well, fortunately, just this year the law was struck down. However, NOW our Student LIfe advisor says we have to wait for ALL of the Panhellenic Organizations to be able to afford houses before we can even start to build one!

Here's the kicker...
We have 5 sororities on campus: ADPi, DG, KD, Phi Mu, and Zeta. Of the five of us, only 3 can afford chapter houses (I think because of actual Housing Authorities). So for now, we are only allowed chapter rooms. All the sororities get 1 small two bedroom apartment in the married/upperclassmen housing. How BOGUS is that?

On a less aggravating note...
We don't have a Fraternity or Greek Row. All of the fraternities are scattered across campus.
-TKE and KA are right next to each other on one far of campus
-AG Sig isn't even walking distance to campus
-SAE is over by itself on a road going onto campus
-Sig Ep, Pike, and FIJI are on a road just off campus
-and Phi Delt, Beta, Sigma Chi, and Kappa Sig are all on another road just off campus.
The fraternities aren't even next to each other, just more or less scattered up and down random roads off campus!

Funny story...
Ok, so I go to a university that is focused mainly on engineering and chemistry. Needless to say, in that crowd, there aren't a whole lot of Greek-minded people. Hence the lack of Fraternal organization on TTU's campus. One night some of my sisters and I were walking into the TKE house and this car of half-drunk guys drove by, turned around and asked us where "Frat Rowe" was.... like we had one!

Re: TTU Greeks (Cookeville, TN)
 

Where is Clarksville? Not sure.


Many of these Laws (Quote, UnQuote, "While are on the Books are so antiquated") that they are ignored by the whole State!

Maybe it is time for some resposible people to step up to the plate and say whoa! These Laws that were enacted in 1862 were for a purpose, but are they now!:eek:

Some that are being taken off because they had become a joke depending on which State and Area of teh Country were:

Cant spit on the sidewalk, Motorized Vehicles must not sound a warning sign (horn), or must pull over to give The Hourse Carrigages The Right Away so not to scare them!:(

Dont just complain about it, maybe try to do something to get these Stupid Laws Off Of The Books!:)

Show that you have some Back Bone!:) Get The Rest of the Soroities To work with you and Present it To Your Nationals about what you want to do! They might say NO, but, stand by Your Convictions and try it! You will get a lot Of PR if you do it and utilize the Media!:)

George Mason University, with around 28,000 students, has no greek housing area. This year there is a floor of one of the older dorms that the AOPis have registered as a living/learning floor--but that's about it for what's on campus.

Washington and Lee has three major Greek house groupings. I will post pictures of them all if I can find them.

The closest to campus is Red Square, a fraternity complex. Housed here are Pi Kappa Alpha, Phi Delta Theta, Beta Theta Pi, Sigma Nu, and Phi Kappa Sigma.

FIJI and Chi Psi are technically part of Red Square but their houses are not with the others and are in a more residential section of town. Formerly this was actually a third grouping of houses (including the now defunct Delta Tau Delta, and the houses of several groups that were moved during the Fraternity Renaissance of the early 1990s. These houses have now become various university theme housing like the International House, or have been sold to local residents.)

The second grouping is farther away (but still downtown) and is called Davidson Park. Housed here are Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Phi Kappa Psi, Sigma Chi, Kappa Sigma, Kappa Alpha, and Lambda Chi Alpha. The Sigma Phi Epsilon house is here also but is vacant (they lost their charter last summer). There is also the former Zeta Beta Tau house, which is now the Outing Club house.

The third grouping houses all the sororities (Pi Beta Phi, Chi Omega, Kappa Alpha Theta, Kappa Delta, Kappa Kappa Gamma) on campus. The sorority row is located on Frank Parsons Way.

Sorority Row, Picture 1
http://panhellenic.wlu.edu/sorority%20row2.jpg
Sorority Row, Picture 2
http://ihouse.wlu.edu/html/campus/photos/sororoties.jpg

The houses up here are spread out somewhat. There are little clumps of houses:
-On Harrison, we have Pi Beta Phi, Delta Gamma, Alpha Sigma Phi, Sigma Phi Epsilon, Triangle, Psi Upsilon, and Sigma Alpha Epsilon.
-On our "sorority row" (M.A.C.) there is Sigma Kappa, Zeta Tau Alpha, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Kappa Delta, Alpha Phi, Alpha Chi Omega, Chi Omega and down the street Delta Upsilon.
-A few streets over there is Alpha Omicron Pi (who are moving and we are taking over that house), Sigma Alpha Mu, Sigma Nu, Alpha Gamma Rho, Phi Kappa Psi.
-The rest of us are spread out through the neighborhood.

I am excited that SDT is moving closer to other houses this coming fall. It's doubly exciting since that's the house that we recolonized in back in 84 and our 20th Anniversary since recolonizing is next fall.

OOPs, ment Cooksville!!!!! Sorry for the mistake! Da!


W & L Houses look great!

Cant stand the Modern or Dorm like Houses.:(


Southern Pillared or English Tudor, Now That makes a nice House!:cool:

The Houses look really cool.

Here at ASU, sororities have suites in one of the dorms, no houses.

Fraternities....most of them live on one street in this order: Sigma Chi, Lambda Chi, Pike, and KA. And then on different parts of campus are AGR, ATO, and TKE.
