Does your school have a sorority/fraternity row?

My school, Cal State East Bay in Hayward, doesn't have a "greek row" and I feel that having one can bring the sororities and fraternities closer together as to having more activities, recruiting more new members, and maybe induct some more sororities and fraternities into the greek system. What about your school and what are your thoughts on this?

Wagner College doesn't have a Greek Row, but we have a building in which each floor is designated for a sorority or fraternity and only those members can live on it. It's pretty cool because we get to paint murals on the walls and decorate it however we want.

Somewhat.

There is a road called Fraternity Circle where 4 of the 6 NPC sororities (Sigma, Alpha Phi, DG, DZ) are located. It's refered to casually as "sorority circle" (since only women's groups live there now). The other 2 groups (Alpha Xi Delta & Chi O) aren't located there, but are only 5 or so minutes down the main road that Fraternity Circle runs into. So our sororities are all pretty centrally located.

University of Tulsa has a Fraternity Row where all the frats are located, then behind them there is a big field (used for football practice and other things) Cross that field and you are on Sorority row where all the girls are.

No, but we're supposed to be getting one. I don't support that idea.

Central Oklahoma has been looking into it. I spoke with the Director of Student Housing about it not too long ago.

It's still in the very conceptual phases as far as I know.

The row is pretty much dying here. A few years back, before we moved to it, SAE, Pi Kapp, Phi Sig, Lambda Chi, Sig Ep, Teke and Sigma Pi all lived on it with D Chi around the corner, Phi Tau and us were the only two houses completely off the row. We moved to the row when SAE lost their charter (we moved into their old house cuz ours died) and now its us, Pi Kapp, Phi Sig and Sig Ep are the only houses on the actual "row". It does help get closer to the other houses and stuff, inter-house relations has been good the last few years, nobody really calls us Sigma Who anymore. Teke used to instigate row-wide water fights but now its pretty much dead. There were days when for Back to School and TGIO the cops would completely block off the street for the parties but now with the city cracking down on Greeks and the row fading into obscurity, nothing real big happens anymore. It's pretty sad I mean, if the Greeks here dont pull together and fight for survival, in a few years not only could the row be gone, but the Greek system as a whole...

We have two Fraternity rows and one sorority row.

And one fraternity out in the middle of nothing.

we have a fraternity row at ASU. alot of us refer to it as "north row" and "Alpha Drive" theres only a select few chapters that have houses there. mostly its the chapters that have been around for awhile. all the sororities and the rest of the fraternities are housed in a apartment style complex called Adelphi I and II. each chapter gets a little "cluster" in the complex with a courtyard, rooms, chapter room and kitchen. and they hang your letters on the outerwall of your cluster. since greek life isnt too big at ASU, campus has been planning on buying out the houses on north row and tearing it down to build some "greek housing project" thing.

At UF the streets are called "Panhellenic Drive" (and there is East and West) and "Fraternity Row".

At USF, it is simply the Greek Village. The residences are built by the University and they all look alike.

At FSU there is not one really. Everything has a regular street address.

At Western Illinois, there is no Greek Row. When I was there, the administration was "strongly encouraging" Greeks to buy/build houses in one specific area, about 5 blocks or so off campus. The majority did move, but there are still a couple of houses that are closer to campus.

At Eastern Illinois, all of the sororities, and most of the fraternities, live in Greek Court. The houses are owned by the school (members pay room and board directly to the school), and they're pretty nice. A handful - maybe 4 or so - of the fraternities have off campus dwellings.

The the University of Illinois the Greek houses are scattered all over Champaign and Urbana near campus.

At Oklahoma State University all of the Greek houses are on the same side of campus (except for one fraternity) but there is no row.

At the University of Oklahoma there is North Greek and South Greek. Neither is a "row" but rather an area where most houses are located, one north of campus and one south of campus.

We have what is called the Greek Complex.
4 building built in the late 50's early 60's where AXiD, PiPhi, Pike, and SAE live.
4 building built in the early 90's where ATO, DG, Lambda Chi, and Kappa Sig live.


Then DZ,ChiO, and ZTA are on University Ave (they are right on the main street of the university).

AGR,PiKap, TKE, Sigma Chi, Delta Sig, and Delta Chi have houses off campus.

FH is unhoused.

At Ole Miss there is a fraternity row with SAE, Chi Psi, Delta Psi, Sig Ep, Phi Psi, Deke, (old Phi Beta Sigma house which is empty), and then Phi Delta Theta. Then further down the road is Kappa Alpha and Phi Kappa Tau. On the back side of fraternity row is Kappa Sigma, Sigma Nu, Pike, Sigma Chi, Beta and ATO. Really there is no real old/new row at Ole Miss anymore since some older fraternities, like Sigma Chi, are in newer houses than their original house. (Phi Beta Sigma is raising money to renovate their house currently from what I've heard.)

The Sorority Row has Tri Delta and KD in a little cul-de-sac (ADPi use to be next door to KD but it is now the honors college.) Then Phi Mu, DG, (Old ZTA house which is now a university academic building) and Kappa.

Then on Rebel Drive is AOII, Theta, Pi Phi, and Chi Omega.
