What's your "Greek Town" like?

[MUPhiMuKHap]

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!!!

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:

[DeltaGammaStar]

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.

[babysquirrelnmc]

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.

[SaintXCPi]

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.

[ThielGirlie]

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!

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.

[aephi alum]

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!

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:



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

here are the hardy ave houses:

here are the aztec walk houses:

here is a view from 55th street, you can see the apartment complex:

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.
