what college has the most beautiful fraternities/sororities?
 

without knowing or having seen many i'm going to say University of Alabama... what does everyone else think?

[EDIT] PS - by beautiful, i mean the houses

My alma mater (Indiana University) has some gorgeous houses, especially the older ones on Third Street.

Hey.....

the girls aren't bad, either! ;) :p

i'm absolutely sure they aren't :)

Iowa State University I have heard have nice houses.

I would say University of Washington

I think that the greek village that is under construction at U of S. Carolina is pretty nice. They have pics of some of the first houses at their website . You can click on the letters of the sorority/fraternity to view their house.

ETA: There aren't a lot of orgs moving in just yet. No NPHC groups.

WOW! When that's done it looks like it will be amazing... any other schools with "greek villages"?

Actually, several groups moved in this past August. Here is the pride and joy of Epsilon Kappa chapter of KKG!

wow that is gorgeous house.... sororities always have the pretties ones... eeh

I have always liked Cornell's houses.

Im sooo jealous... I wish I lived in the south. They always have the most beautiful houses. That Greek Village is def a place I want to go visit once its done. It looks awesome just in the plan stage..... You guys are sooooooooooooooooo lucky.

Here is some of the sites for the places you have mentioned so everyone can see just how beautiful their houses are.


Indiana University-their Greek site. http://www.indiana.edu/~sao/greek/home.html

U of Washingtons sororities http://students.washington.edu/%7Epanhell/

The University of Illinois and Miami University of Ohio.

Yes, we do. Our Greek community has a long history and that is reflected in many of our chapter houses. I would say the majority of them are 70+ years old, though many have been built-on to, and have a lot of character.

Check out www.isugreeks.com for chapter websites. Many of them have photos.

Miami has dorm floors.

Not their fraternities.

I'm personally a big fan of the row at Wisconsin - they're mostly older houses and they're on a lake!

Bradley does a great job of having houses in an urban environment, although they aren't your stereotypical gorgeous house.

Cornell and Syracuse have beautiful houses. UVA and Penn were nice from what I remember. I visited those schools once many years ago.

U of I at Urbana-Champaign houses are GORGEOUS!

University of Colorado at Boulder has some gems too.

the fraternity houses at penn state are pretty awesome. my favorite house is sigma pi. it's beautiful in and out!

this link scrolls through pix of a bunch of the houses.

There's a few houses at RU that I like. Um...yeah. Beutiful brick house is nice, just like the campus. Last year was a night mare house. I love my Alma Mater, but Greek life sucks here, and the houses are shit holes.

I completely agree with the CU campus in Boulder. The original four houses (Alpha Omicron Pi, Tri Delta, Chi Omega, and Sigma Phi Epsilon) have a moat through the front yard. The three sorority houses are all tudor style houses...beautiful houses outside and in. Check them out at: http://www.coloradogreeks.com/panhel...s.php?show=map

just scroll over the houses and they pop up.

The University of Michigan has some pretty amazing houses too!

If you click on that link, there is info (and a picture of the house) for most of the groups.

omg!!!! some of those houses are absolutely exquisite!! thank you for sharing the links...


does anyone happen to have pics of USC fraternities?

The 2 or 3 houses that are actually on Penn's campus are nice. The others are holes. At least the ones I've seen!

Bucknell has some gorgeous fraternity houses, but I think the sororities live in dorms.

Georgia has some gorgeous sorority houses!

Most beautiful fraternity/sorority houses? Certainly not at UK. :p Most of the sororities have houses in Sorority Circle, and they all look alike...Pi Phi, Kappa, and AOII are the only ones with houses that are really different.

I heard the DZ house at OU is pretty, though.

I am quite jealous of the southern houses. They are very exquisite (spelling).

Ole Miss has gorgeous fraternity and sorority houses.
All 9 NPC groups have houses that house members. The Chi Chapter of Tri Delta at Ole Miss is probably the biggest here. The fraternity houses are very well maintained as well. The Phi Delta Theta house is the newest built house, as their first house burned down about 8 years ago. Their new house is amazing. However, I would have to say all of the houses are very well kept and I know all of the sorority houses spend at least $500,000 a year to maintain their houses on the outside and inside.

Edited to remove. Someone already posted the House Pics thread. Sorry.

I think Mizzou has some pretty gorgeous houses...though I am definitely biased.

I've looked for pictures before but am too lazy to do it now.

However I think that Kappa Kappa Gamma, Beta Theta Pi, AXO, Alpha Kappa Lambda, and LXA/Sigma Chi (it's really Sig Chi's house but LXA lives there) have some of the most BEAUTIFUL houses I've ever seen. Beta, AKL, and LXA look like your "typical" fraternity houses with large white columns and lots of brick...I love them. And AKL is actually not TOO bad on the inside...or at least the first floor anyway. ;) The upstairs maybe not so much but that's to be expected.

Phi Kappa Theta also has a gorgeous house I think, as do DG, Chi O, and Theta. :)

I have to change my mind... i don't think Bama has the nicest houses anymore - despite being gorgeous, SMU's beat everything i've seen so far...

if anyone has pictures of fraternity houses at USC or UCLA, i'd love to see them. the chapter's websites have next to nothing

Most of UA's houses look the same, but the Pi Phi house is beautiful. Roll Tide!

gotta put in a plug for my
 

alma mater fsu. most of the sorority houses are beautiful.and very soon the fraternities will have houses to be proud of thanks to the new greek park where most fraternities are building. also u of georgia,georgia southern,miss. state, lsu, texas, texas a & m. u of f and auburn have great fraternity houses.

to see a great picture of my sorority house, go to tallahasseezta.org and click on beta gamma chapter

Does anyone have a link to photos of the beautiful houses at Bama? I don't think I've ever seen any.

I love the Row here -- I'm sure it's not the most beautiful but there are some amazing houses and sooo much character. The pictures online don't do it justice. In particular I'm a fan of Gamma Phi, Kappa and DG for sororities, and Chi Phi (used to be a church!), Kappa Sig and Lodge for the fraternities. I love the Sigma Pi house too, although it it's nowhere near Greek Row -- it is beautiful. Having a lake in our backyards is a nice bonus too. ;) All of the houses have so much history -- there are great stories behind them.

I think Georgia and Oklahoma have some beautiful houses, as does SMU -- although for the most part, I prefer the older houses.

It is not what is on the outside that counts, but what is inside that counts! :D

I'd add the ADPi, Tri Delta and Chi O houses as being different. And except for the six pack, the fraternities are all rather unique. Well except for the new Sig Ep and Sigma Chi houses. They are "different" but similar in style. :p

Now the old Sigma Chi house was a gem! :cool:

does anyone have a website so we can all take a look at what youre talking about

I have pictures of all the houses (NPC) at UA.. if I only knew how to post them!
