Parking at IU is a big problem. You basically can't park anywhere on campus from 7am-5pm unless you are a grad student or faculty member. All the Greek houses have parking lots but I have no idea how many spots each one has. The Third Street houses, DG, Theta, and Sigma Chi are all in excellent locations, super close to the main campus. The ones on North Jordan (except DG) and the Extension are pretty far away, but there is a bus line (B) that serves that area.
The dorms do have parking lots. Back when I started at IU, freshmen could not park at their dorm unless they had a letter stating they had an off-campus job or some reason they needed their car. Now anyone who lives in the dorms can apply for a D sticker, which allows them to park in the parking lot of their dorm. Almost everyone else gets an E sticker, which allows you to park at the stadium and take the campus shuttle over. After 5pm and on weekends, you can park anywhere on campus as long as you have a sticker. (D or E) I parked at my apartment complex...parking was free there and it was right across the street from the campus shuttle bus stop. I still got a sticker, though, for when I drove to the library or wherever on campus in the evenings. (there were parking officers patrolling the lot of the library and places like that and they ticketed everyone without a valid sticker.)
