Does your school have a sorority/fraternity row?

[CSUGreekGoddess]

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.

Just curious - why not?

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.

Being that you're not greek, I wonder why this matters to you.

I believe that also applies here:

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.

(Yes, I realize APO is Greek, but beings as that they don't have a house anywhere....)

And...PS You can have a Fraternity/Sorority row with "regular" addresses. Just because it's not 123 Fratty Circle, doesn't mean it's not a "Greek Row".

Excuse Me, what do you mean by not being a Greek?

I am a member of APO and damn proud of being a member and what I did as a member.


I am also a member of LXA is that wrong also?

If one GLO has a house and can afford it, that can be a plus, but, if teh playing field is even for all, then that makes a difference!

Northwestern has the Sorority Quads and the Fraternity Quads.

Sorority Quads are on the South end of Campus, and the buildings are almost all greek. Of the non-greek, half are all girls dorms (the only ones on campus).

The Fraternity Quads are on the North side of campus. The Northern quads and only 4 buildings in the quads are non-greek, one of which is the only all-male dorm.

A long time ago, someone donated a large sum of money with the stipulation that the sororities and the fraternities be on the opposite sides of campus. I assume it was to prevent "indecent behavior". That was a really long time ago (before 1900, I assume) because many houses have been up since around the turn of the century.

Univ. of Maryland has a Fraternity Row, it's on campus and 13 houses total. - 11 fraternities and 2 sororities. Additional chapters have houses in the surrounding area- there is a block that has 7 sorority houses and that block is referred to as the Graham Cracker.
Our Fraternity Row is featured in the movie, St. Elmo's Fire.
