Most freshman are put in temporary housing before recruitment begins.

As a University of Washington sorority alumna, I love this aspect about UW's greek life! It's really a crazy, overwhelming, awesome experience opening your bid card and hauling all of your belongings to the chapter house only a half an hour or so later (with your new sisters' help of course). Funny thing is, a lot of people at UW assume that it is this way everywhere else.
And, while I'm gushing about how I love greek life at UW, I just wanted to show everyone how beautiful the houses are and why it is so special to move in right away. Here are some highlights:
Here is Chi Omega's house- I believe it is the largest fraternal structure west of the Mississippi

Sigma Kappa's house is a national historic landmark
